Going to the Sun - Closer Every Day Lyrics

You'll always be my little boy, no matter what time brings
Never had another choice, if it were up to me
I would have watched you make up your mind
Now I watch from far away
But I'm closer than you know
Closer every day
Son I've got to tell you there are things on my mind
And I've got time to work them out, God knows I've got the time
Somehow we got confused on what was yours, and what was mine
In all that I've left behind
We made this house from rock and dirt, made plans and cleared the trees
We bore the sweat of heavy loads and lifted up the beams
And raised a temple to the sky with soil on our knees
A lonely kingdom looking for a queen
You'll always be my little boy, no matter what time brings
Never had another choice, if it were up to me
I would have watched you make up your mind
Now I watch from far away
But I'm closer than you know
Closer every day
Been gone a while and here I am to see just how you've done
And you're a man my little child and time is moving on
Can't return to this temple now that doesn't see the sun
When all that I've built is gone
You're more my image every day, my legacy survives
Don't let your daylight get away, stay focused on the prize
I'm right around the corner, open arms when you arrive
For now you've got to live while you're alive
You'll always be my little boy, no matter what time brings
Never had another choice, if it were up to me
I would have watched you make up your mind
Now I watch from far away
But I'm closer than you know
Closer every day
I'm closer than you know
Closer every day
I'm closer than you know
Closer every day
I'll be waiting 'round the corner when you call me
Waiting 'round the corner when you come a calling
I'll be waiting 'round the corner when you're ready
Waiting 'round the corner when you come a knocking
I'll be waiting 'round the corner when you call me
Waiting 'round the corner when you come a calling
I'll be waiting 'round the corner when you're ready
Waiting 'round the corner when you come a knocking
