So, I'd like to dedicate this song
To my dear father Jørn Poulsen
Feel a sadness burning in my heart
You left too early, father
So many things I should've said
But in your mind you knew it well
Holding on to what I got and love
But things still seem so dark and cold
The fire burning down my happiness
But I will rise
So proud and strong you truly were
I took it with me as a tool
A gift from father to his only son, woah-oh
Watching over me with eagle eyes
You gave me freedom to a life
Where dreams are born and truly become real
See me falling, yeah, down and lonely
Are the angels on its way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the day's no more the same without you, woah-oh
Promise me, my son, you always will
Cherish what you love, believing in
Never lose your values, stand up for the day
Dear father, I thank you for the years
I'm writing this song on your desk
Together we can make it through the day
See me falling, yeah, down and lonely
Are the angels on its way, I'm in the dirt
Hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the day's no more the same without you, oh-oh
Thank you
See me falling, yeah, down and lonely
Are the angels on its way, I'm in the dirt
Oh, hear me screaming, see me bleeding
'Cause the day's no more the same without you
See me falling, yeah, down and lonely
Are the angels on its way, I'm in the dirt
Will you hear me screaming, see me bleeding?
'Cause the day's no more the same without you
