Full Circle

Daddy I want to take you in my arms
tell you stories, say a prayer, keep you from harm
stroke your hair and tuck you into bed at night

We've come full circle

There's a lot of stuff we both need to forget

The innocence of little children is just a dream
gone in an instant like the sticks we sent downstream

And I can't find where we left it all...

We've come full circle
