Story Behind the Song
This song is written for my son Thomas, who has had a rough ride this year as he was diagnosed with Leukaemia in January and went through a bone marrow transplant in May 2002.
Although it is a song I originally wrote before he became ill, it wanted to record it to let him know I will always be there for him (as will all of our family).

Lyrics
Father To Son (I'll Be There For You)
There's that look in your eyes
It's like you've given up before you've tried.
Don't give up so soon,
Leave the darkness for the light of truth.
Just persevere my friend, you'll make it in the end.
Chorus:
I'll be there, father to son.
Don't be afraid, together we'll overcome.
Follow your dreams, they might come true,
No matter what, I'll be there for you.
I'll be there for you.
When it's cold outside,
All your worries will be magnified.
The ice that froze your fun,
Will melt away with the morning sun.
Don't be afraid of defeat, I'll help back on your feet.
Chorus:
You got to learn to be strong
You know that one day I'll be gone.
Don't worry if you make mistakes,
It's all part of life's experience.
Just say my name and close your eyes, and I'll be right by your side.
Chorus:
