I Can’t Help But Wonder Letra - Jorge Rivera-Herrans ft. Miguel Veloso, Teagan Earley

Father?

Son

All my life, I'd have died to meet you

Thought about your name so much, it hurts

For twenty years, I've dreamt of how I'd greet you

Oh, and now you're here, I can't find the words

All my life, I'd have died to know you

Days and nights I wish that I could show you

For twenty years, I never could outgrow you

Oh, and now you're here

I can't help but wonder what your world must be

If we're like each other, if I have your strength in me

All this time I've wondered if you'd embrace me as your own

Twenty years, I've wandered, for so long I've felt alone

Oh, my son, look how much you've grown

Oh, my boy, sweetest joy I've known

Twenty years ago I held you in my arms

How time has flown, oh

Used to say I'd make the storm clouds cry for you

Used to say I'd capture wind and sky for you

Held you in my arms, prepared to die for you

Oh, how time has flown

I can only wonder what your world has been

Things you've had to suffer, and the strength you hold within

All I've ever wanted was to reunite with my own

Twenty years, we've wandered, but today you're not alone

My son, I'm finally home

Home, home

Father, how I've longed to see you

Home, home

Telemachus, I'm home (Home)

Go, tell your mother I'm home

I'll be there in a moment

Of course

Show yourself

I know you're watching me, show yourself

You were never one for hellos

I can't help but wonder what this world could be

If we all held each other with a bit more empathy

I can't help but feel like I led you astray

What if there's a world where we don't have to live this way?

If that world exists, it's far away from here

It's one I'll have to miss, for it's far beyond my years

You might live forever, so you can make it be

But I've got one endeavor, there's a girl I have to see

Very well

Father? She's waiting for you
