“Far From the Father’s Heart”
Lyrics by – Kahandawala Arachchilage Kelum Perera (Fidan Gabor Vesimies)
Verse 1
I walked a road that turned me blind…
Forgot the love I left behind…
The gentle hands that held me tight…
Now fade away into the night…
Pre-Chorus
Still your voice…
Calls my name in every dream…
Though I ran so far away…
Your heart stayed close to me…
Chorus
Far from the father’s heart I wandered…
Chasing shadows in the rain…
But your memories pull me closer…
Softly calling me again…
Far from the father’s heart I drifted…
Now I see what I became…
Let me find my path returning…
To the one who spoke my name…
Verse 2
You gave me wings to rise above…
I chose the world instead of love…
But every tear I hid inside…
Was just my longing to return…
Pre-Chorus 2
Every step…
Feels like walking back through time…
To the warmth I pushed away…
But lived in every line…
Chorus (repeat – main)
Far from the father’s heart I wandered…
Chasing shadows in the rain…
But your memories pull me closer…
Softly calling me again…
Far from the father’s heart I drifted…
Now I see what I became…
Let me find my path returning…
To the one who spoke my name…
Bridge
If you hear me now…
Please forgive the child I was…
I am stronger now…
Carrying the love you taught…
Final Chorus
Far from the father’s heart no longer…
I will rise above the pain…
Let your blessings guide me forward…
Till our hearts unite again…
