(Mmm,
yeah)
Listen
closely,
my
son.
Dear
Nebo,
if
you’
re
hearing
this,
these
are
words
from
my
heart
When
I
was
only
a
little
boy,
I
dreamed
we’
d
never
be
apart
A
little
house
with
love
inside,
children
laughing
through
the
day
But
life
can
change
the
strongest
plans,
and
sometimes
dreams
fade
away
I
came
from
nothing,
empty
hands,
no
one
there
to
lead
the
way
Every
step
I
fought
alone,
just
to
see
another
day
I
made
mistakes,
I
learned
from
pain,
I
carried
burdens
on
my
own
But
through
it
all,
my
greatest
joy
is
knowing
you’
re
my
son
Nebo,
you’
re
the
light
that
I
never
had
I’
m
trying
to
be
better
than
the
path
of
your
dad
I’
m
writing
these
letters
so
you
know
the
truth
I’
m
giving
you
the
pieces
of
my
broken
youth
Oh,
Nebo,
walk
in
grace,
don't
carry
my
weight
I'm
clearing
the
path
so
you
don't
hesitate
Yeah,
you’
re
the
heart
of
my
life.
I
wanted
stars
for
your
ceiling,
I
wanted
peace
for
your
mind
I
spent
a
lifetime
searching
for
what
I
had
to
leave
behind
Sometimes
I
look
in
the
mirror
and
I
see
my
father's
ghost
But
I
refuse
to
let
that
shadow
haunt
the
one
I
love
the
most
I
worked
those
double
shifts,
I
kept
the
secrets
in
the
dark
Just
so
you
could
have
a
head
start,
so
you
could
find
your
spark
Every
sacrifice
I
made,
every
tear
I
had
to
cry
Was
so
you
could
reach
the
heavens,
baby,
reach
up
for
the
sky
Nebo,
you’
re
the
light
that
I
never
had
I’
m
trying
to
be
better
than
the
path
of
your
dad
I’
m
writing
these
letters
so
you
know
the
truth
I’
m
giving
you
the
pieces
of
my
broken
youth
Oh,
Nebo,
walk
in
grace,
don't
carry
my
weight
I'm
clearing
the
path
so
you
don't
hesitate
Yeah,
you’
re
the
heart
of
my
life.
I
know
I'm
not
perfect,
I
know
I've
been
cold
Sometimes
life
makes
you
hard
before
you
get
old
But
look
at
these
hands,
they're
working
for
you
Everything
I
say,
I
promise
it’
s
true (
Come
here,
son)
So
keep
these
pages
close
whenever
I
am
gone
Let
the
rhythm
of
my
story
keep
you
moving
on
Never
be
afraid
to
fall,
never
be
afraid
to
stand
You've
got
the
strength
of
an
empire
inside
of
your
hand
I’
m
proud
of
the
man
you’
re
becoming
each
day
Don't
let
the
bitter
world
ever
take
your
joy
away
Nebo,
my
blood,
my
heart,
my
legacy
You
are
the
best
part
of
everything
in
me
Nebo,
you’
re
the
light
that
I
never
had
I’
m
trying
to
be
better
than
the
path
of
your
dad
I’

Yeah,
you’
re
the
heart
of
my
life
Read
this,
Nebo
Carry
it
with
you
I
love
you,
son (
Mmm,
yeah)
