lyrics

he is waiting for his daddy, with his back to the window too much drinking, Dad's not coming today utterly barren inside, he swears to himself that he's not going to be this way

a family that's whole, a father that's around children that know, they're loved

he is waiting at the altar, for the love of his life a radiant smile on her face, all his lifetime she will stand by his side

united in love, with sons of their own
sons that have a home

years go by, brown turns to grey
four sons with families of their own
have a blueprint that says

a family that's whole, a father that's around children that know, they're loved

he is waiting for his family, so they all can be by his side every one of them has a light there that they carry inside

a family that's whole, across all space and time and may grandpa know, he's loved
