Driving down the freeway, cross the interstate
Slow enough to know I can't be late
Pop a CD in the player looking to escape
And I'm drifting, you come into my mind
Wondering, what all your soul-searching, has helped you to find
Did it teach you to care, to think of those other than you
Did it help you decide on what you need to do
Has it helped you to care about your babies so right
And helped you plan on parenting for more than one night
Only you crumble me, only you stumble me, only you humble me
Can't stand so tall in unity
Can't brag so tall in community
After all, you're still the absent one
Their father, your daughter, my son
Wouldn't it surprise you once you finally knew
That the one I'm now carrying was also fathered by you
And I'm wondering….were do we go from here
Where do we go when your still shifting and changing gear
Will you finally touch base when the end is surprisingly near
Beyond fatherhood
Beyond all imagined fear
Beyond feeling empty
Beyond angry
When I can't drop another useless tear
I still care for you, I still dare for you, I'll say a prayer for you
Pray all your soul-searching is getting you through
Pray I complete the next hundred chores I have yet to do
Would be nice to hear a word of encouragement today
And know your coming back around here to finally stay
Driving down the freeway, cross the interstate
Slow enough to know I can't be late
Pop a CD in the player looking to escape
And I'm drifting, you come into my mind
Wondering, what all your soul-searching, has helped you to find
