about

For my nephew Thomas

lyrics

'Neath the northern sky
Was where you blessed
My sister’s life

Your faithful father by her side
Waited for you
All day and night

And I was tethered to my phone
Til I heard word
You made it home

Into those
Arms and hearts so grand
That only one day
Will you understand

'Cause today is your day
So we wait
Patiently
All for our chance to see Tommy

And in the days
That stretch from now
Keep your heart wide
And your head sound

And you’ll find answers that
I never found
In far less years
Than I have now

And as you trek
From land to land
Hear those in need
And lend your hand

But listen not to those
Who'll say, “just be a man.”
No, you just be,
And love, who you can

'Cause today is your day
And I can’t wait
Til I can see
Who you turn out to be
Tommy
