Sunflowers for Alfred Roy lyrics

Now you're shining like a sunflower up in the sky

Shining like a sunflower up in the sky

Thank you for forgiving

Hurtful things I've done

As a child, adolescent or woman

Thank you for embracing

A flaxen-haired baby

Although I'm aware you had your doubts

I guess anybody would have had

I guess anybody'd have had doubts

Please be at peace, father

I'm at peace with you

Bitterness isn't worth clinging to, clinging to

After all the anguish we've all been through

Thank you for the mountains

The lake of the clouds

I'm picturing you and me there right now

As the crystal cascade showered down

Strange to feel that proud, strong man

Grip tightly to my hand

Hard to see the life inside

Wane as the days went by

Trying to preserve each word

He murmured in my ear

Watching part of my life disappear

Father, thanks for reaching out and lovingly

Saying that you've always been proud of me

I needed to feel that so

I needed to feel that so desperately

Now you're shining like a sunflower up in the sky

You're always alive inside of me

Way up high
