Picture Of You

Justin McRoberts


I found a picture of you and me together 
I was your child and you were still my father 
I found a picture of you when you were younger 
You were holding me up, you were so much stronger 
I found a picture of you 

And were they good times for you daddy? 
When you were free and you were young? 
Were they good times until the corporate world 
Took a father from his son? 
And were they good times weren't they father? 
When you were safe and you could rest 
Were they good times until the corporate world 
Stole the heart right from your chest 

I found a picture of you and you are smiling 
Like after 50 long years, you found the best of life was now 
And you would never trade it in for anything 

See, I think there was a time, as you were holding me just then 
You believed that more than money made the man 
Then they told you were nothing unless you measured up 
Pride is always the most bitter cup
