Father est une chanson en Anglais
I'd like to think that I'm older
I'd like to think that I'm wise
I'd like to know what the world is
I'd like to see myself through another's eyes
I'd like to be what you wanted
I want to heal this divide
Oh you've been more than a father
Help me be a son who can be satisfied
I never had a wish I'd be beholden to strife
I'd be the first one to dish on my tumultuous life
I'm well aware that nature isn't doing both of us right
But I've had a chance to switch and I've been holding it tight
I'm not the son my father wanted, I was lucky to be born
No talent, I had trouble keeping up and I've been torn
Inside myself since I was young, and I was sick, to find a remedy
I sought the Avatar, but what I found is I'm the enemy
You always tried to find the best in me, but I was heady
Apprehending him my everything, but always steps ahead of me
He'd let it be if I would do the same, but I relentlessly
Pursued him, never thinking one day soon he'd be a friend to me
At least I hope he will, I'm stressed out
Not sure you've noticed, but I haven't put my best out
It may be hopeless, but it's som' I gotta test out
Cuz this is history in me, and I cannot be left out
I'd like to think that I'm older
I'd like to think that I'm wise
I'd like to know what the world is
I'd like to see myself through another's eyes
I'd like to be what you wanted
I want to heal this divide
Oh you've been more than a father
Help me be a son who can be satisfied
Do you remember in Ba Sing Se when we were rightfully employed
You found your joy in making tea and I took time to be a boy
For just a second, I went on a date and kinda got annoyed
A bit cuz she was kinda coy and I was tense but I enjoyed it
And I lit the lanterns for her, cast a pattern on the surface
Of the fountain, ripples spreading out, inside I found the curses
Of my ruin dissipating like the motion of the water versus
Every other droplet, I was caught off guard, uncertain
Later on I felt the war within, a scorching conflagration
As I tossed and turned, I fought it, burning for a revelation
When I finally emerged, it felt like cause for celebration
I thought that I could stay away, a stranger to my nation
When I tell you that I've changed, it's not the first time that I've said it
But you know me, better than I know myself, and I'm indebted
For it, if you have mixed feelings when you see me here, I get it
I never should have left, you don't know how much I regret it
I'd like to think that I'm older
I'd like to think that I'm wise
I'd like to know what the world is
I'd like to see myself through another's eyes
I'd like to be what you wanted
I want to heal this divide
Oh you've been more than a father
Help me be a son who can be satisfied
I'd like to think that I'm older
I'd like to think that I'm wise
I'd like to know what the world is
I'd like to see myself through another's eyes
I'd like to be what you wanted
I want to heal this divide
Oh you've been more than a father
Help me be a son who can be satisfied
