Mr. Music - Thirty Years of Silence

2026 https://open.spotify.com/artist/6njaJ... I was nineteen, just a boy with restless dreams Didn’t know what life could hide between the seams There was a night, and a love I couldn’t keep Then you were gone… buried somewhere deep No lullabies, no tiny hand in mine Just empty years I couldn’t redefine I never knew the truth behind the door That I was someone’s father… nothing more And all those years, I felt something missing Like a ghost I couldn’t name I would’ve held you when the world turned cold Would’ve been there to watch your story unfold Through every tear, through every mile Just to see your face, to see you smile But time kept stealing what I never knew Thirty years… I never knew you And I can’t cry hard enough tonight For all the years we lost to silence Did you ever wonder who I might have been? Did you ever search for traces of my skin? Your mother kept a truth I couldn’t find Built a wall and left me far behind Birthdays passed like shadows on a wall I missed your first step, I missed it all A thousand moments I can’t reclaim Just echoes whispering your name And every dream I had was fading Without knowing why I would’ve held you when the world turned cold Would’ve been there to watch your story unfold Through every tear, through every mile Just to see your face, to see you smile But time kept stealing what I never knew Thirty years… I never knew you Then the phone rang… like a voice from the past A fragile truth I was scared to grasp You said, “Hello… I think you’re my dad” And in that moment… everything cracked You told me stories I never could hear And about two little girls who call you “their” And suddenly I’m more than I’ve been A grandfather… where do I begin? Let me hold you though the years are gone Let me make right what’s been so wrong Through every tear, through every mile I’d give my life just to see you smile Now time’s returned what I once lost But oh, the pain of what it cost Still I’ll cry with open arms tonight No more years in silent darkness Thirty years… washed away in tears But you’re here now… You’re finally here
