My Father's Voice - Judith Owen

Oh my father voice

Was a very special thing

And when I went to sleep

I knew I’d wake to hear him sing

Every morning, he’d warm up

There was hope that it would bring

In the joy in his face

When he reached that haloed place

So I made my choice

I chose my father’s voice

On my father’s voice

Was a very healing thing

And in our house of mirrors

There was safety it would bring

And the clouds above my bedroom

Would part, and show me spring

And my pride reached it’s fill

And my sadness lost it’s will

And I had no choice

But to choose my father’s voice

Oh my father’s voice

Is still a very special thing

But he doesn’t seem to understand

The pleasure that it brings

To my friends, who love to hear him

When he sings old xmas hymns

And I’m proud and I’m pleased

That thru him, they must see me

I’m the acorn, he’s the oak

Heart strung girl, heartfelt bloke
