Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Soft

melodic

guitar

picking,

ambient

city

sound,

slow

steady

beat)

Oh,

the

weight

of

the

years

is

heavy

on

my

chest

Watching

the

shadows

lengthen

as

the

sun

sets

in

the

west

I

failed

you,

my

blood,

I

failed

you

in

the

light

And

now

I’

m

standing

here

alone

in

the

quiet

of

the

night

George

Mulumba,

I

call

your

name

into

the

wind

Cynthia

and

Moses,

where

do

I

begin?

Astridah,

my

child,

I

know

I

wasn't

there

To

hold

your

hand,

to

show

you

that

I

care

I

missed

the

birthdays

and

the

struggles

you

have

known

I

left

you

walking

through

this

world

all

on

your

own

My

heart

is

aching

with

a

guilt

that

never

dies

I

see

the

disappointment

mirrored

in

your

eyes

I’

m

not

asking

for

your

silver,

I’

m

not

asking

for

your

gold

I’

m

just

a

father

shivering

out

here

in

the

cold

Oh,

have

mercy,

my

children,

let

your

hearts

be

kind

I

just

want

to

hear

a

word,

a

peace

of

mind

Tell

me

how

you

are,

that’

s

all

I

truly

need

A

simple

conversation

to

help

this

spirit

bleed

I

know

the

bridges

burned

are

hard

for

you

to

cross

And

I’

m

the

one

who

tallied

up

the

total

of

our

loss

I

was

blinded

by

the

pride,

I

was

lost

within

the

haze

While

you

were

growing

up

through

all

those

lonely

days

There

are

so

many

others

that

I

failed

to

guide

I

have

no

more

excuses,

I

have

nowhere

left

to

hide

My

door

is

always

open,

even

if

it’

s

just

a

dream

I

hope

that

you

can

find

a

way

to

let

go

of

the

steam

I’

m

not

asking

for

your

silver,

I’

m

not

asking

for

your

gold

I’

m

just

a

father

shivering

out

here

in

the

cold

Oh,

have

mercy,

my

children,

let

your

hearts

be

kind

I

just

want

to

hear

a

word,

a

peace

of

mind

Tell

me

how

you

are,

that’

s

all

I

truly

need

A

simple

conversation

to

help

this

spirit

bleed

I

don't

need

your

support,

I

don't

need

your

hand

to

hold

I

just

need

to

know

the

stories

that

you

haven't

told

If

you

find

the

room

inside

your

heart

to

speak

to

me

I’

ll

listen

to

the

truth,

however

much

it

stings

to

see

Victor

Kabila

Mulumba

is

the

name

you

carry

too

I

am

the

root

that

withered,

but

I

still

believe

in

you

If

you

can

send

a

message,

just

to

say

you're

doing

well

It

would

be

the

only

story

that

I

have

to

tell

I

love

you

all,

deeper

than

the

deepest

river

bed

I

live

with

all

the

tears

that

I

have

often

shed

I’

m

not

asking

for

your

silver,

I’

m

not

asking

for

your

gold

I’

m

just

a

father

shivering

out

here

in

the

cold

Oh,

have

mercy,

my

children,

let

your

hearts

be

kind

I

just

want

to

hear

a

word,

a

peace

of

mind

Tell

me

how

you

are,

that’

s

all

I

truly

need

A

simple

conversation

to

help

this

spirit

bleed

Just

a

word,

my

children

Just

to

know

you’

re

there

George,

Cynthia,

Moses,

Astridah

I’

m

listening

to

the

wind

I

love

you

all (
