Song For My Father Lyrics - Shine On - Sarah Mclachlan

How I wish that I could tell you 

It's to you that I would run 

You were the place that I could always rest my head 

When my world had come undone 

'Cause I've been wrestling with my demons 

They're telling me I have no choice 

How I wish that I could lean upon you now 

Amidst the chaos and the noise 

Your light buried the dark 

A constant unwavering heart 

You were the well to cool my fury 

Deep and calm your waters feel 

Your quiet words a salve to soothe my wayward soul 

It was there I learned to heal 

Your light buried the dark 

A constant unwavering heart 

Oh I hope that you can hear me 

Through the ravages of time 

You have carried me though more than you could know 

I still feel your hand in mine 

Your light buried the dark 

A constant unwavering heart 

Your light buried the dark 

A constant unwavering heart (Unwavering heart)
