lirik lagu shlomo dubin - a stranger to my son
[intro]
son…
you’re out there breathing, walking, laughing —
but i’m locked outside your life
not by choice… but by design
~~~
[verse 1]
i used to picture us tossing a ball in the yard
now i’m staring at fences, they’ve built them too hard
your name still lives in the marrow of my bones
but i’m cast like a shadow you’ll never call home
i bought you a bike, never saw you ride
i dreamed of your wedding, i won’t stand by your side
the lies that they fed you became your belief
and now “dad” is a stranger you see as a thief
i’m not a ghost, but i’m fading in your memory
fighting for your trust while they’re painting me an enemy
son, you’re my pride, but the story got twisted
now love’s out of reach, though it always existed
~~~
[chorus]
i’m a stranger to my son
though i gave him my blood, my soul, my lungs
every mile they pull you farther
every lie just builds a harder wall
i’m a stranger to my son
but i’ll wait right here, i won’t run
when the smoke clears, when the truth comes
you’ll find me still the same one
~~~
[verse 2]
i still remember your first cry, shook the ceiling
a sound so small, but it rewired my meaning
now silence is louder than a stadium crowd
and the distance between us is a coffin unbound
i was supposed to teach you how to stand tall
how to handle the hits, how to rise when you fall
but instead they erased me, rewrote the design
and left me just a name on a legal line
they dressed up the lies in a costume of care
but the truth is i’ve always been there, always there
you’ll grow with my features, my smile, my eyes
even if they convince you i’m fiction disguised
~~~
[chorus]
i’m a stranger to my son
though i gave him my blood, my soul, my lungs
every mile they pull you farther
every lie just builds a harder wall
i’m a stranger to my son
but i’ll wait right here, i won’t run
when the smoke clears, when the truth comes
you’ll find me still the same one
~~~
[bridge]
if you ever wonder why your heart feels torn
it’s ‘cause half of your roots got cut and worn
but my love don’t die, it’s carved in your veins
even if they erase me, the blood won’t change
~~~
[verse 3]
maybe one day you’ll search through the noise
and find the letters i left, the songs, the voice
i rap like i’m writing in invisible ink
hoping someday your soul will connect and link
i can’t force the door, i can’t break their spell
but i’ll carry your name through heaven and h~ll
and when the truth cracks through like the morning sun
you’ll see i was never gone — i was always your one
~~~
[final chorus]
i’m a stranger to my son
though i gave him my blood, my soul, my lungs
every mile they pull you farther
every lie just builds a harder wall
i’m a stranger to my son
but i’ll wait right here, i won’t run
when the smoke clears, when the truth comes
you’ll find me still the same one
~~~
[outro]
son…
i’ll never stop being your father
even if the world convinces you otherwise
i’ll be waiting. always
