The father's torment
The one son it falls on
Across warm deep oceans
Of moments and the man he must become
A whole world away
Eighteen brothers holding out
While the tree of importance waits
But close and safe
Wife and daughters hear no drums
Or the voices of those he'll change
And if it feels good they must understand
That the way had opened up to just a man
With a faith in all good people walking gently,
Knowing just how wonderful it is
Of the family portrait
And a path unchosen
Both the roaring lions of emotion
He knew one day would have to come
While a whole world away
His old home is reaching out
With the hands of enraptured hope
But more than that they hold up the one they want
To the sun he's the only one...
Good for you Sule
