Here is a song I wrote the words to and was lucky enough to have Mikalyn Hay and her producer Chris Grey do all the hard work for me and turn it into a song. Be sure to check out Mikalyn on Youtube and Spotify and other streaming services for other music by her, she is very talented.
I was told I should use a stage name for this one so I chose Win Thomas, combination of two of my favorite characters in books I like to read, as my artist name.
But it is still me.
I am still in the process of trying to get it “out there” and send it to radio stations and all that.
For those of you with Spotify, here is a link for it as well. It is available on all streaming services across the world as well. Just search up artist name Win Thomas.
When I first started this I was thinking it would be about old friends or old relationship, like Adele’s Someone Like You song. Then I heard RaeLynn’s Love Triangle and it went a different direction. Hope you like. Dads, be there for you kids, no matter what. They need you in their life. The statistics of how children turn out without a father in their lives are not good. Be there. Be thankful for them. Love them. Be thankful for forgiveness. One of the most important things you can do as a dad is to love their mom. Show them what a real man and a real father and a real stick it out, work it out relationship should look like.
When I left it wasn’t your choice
It must be strange to hear my voice
After all these years
After you cried a million tears
“I’m sorry I was wrong.”
“I should never have left you for so long.”
“I’m sorry I decided to leave.”
“I know that must be hard for you to believe.”
“I felt like there was no other way.”
“When I packed my bags and left that day.”
“Your mom has raised you well.”
“You’re beautiful inside and out I can tell.”
I could also tell I had scarred her
Her first question, “Why didn’t you try harder?”
“Wasn’t I worth trying?”
“Do you know how many nights I spent crying?”
“I promise daddy, I could’ve been better!”
“Don’t you think I was worth one call, one letter?”
“I know you and mom had your troubles
But why did you keep me outside your bubble?”
“Do you know many nights I yelled into my pillow at you?”
“Do you know how many days I wondered what did I do?”
I just stared at her, how could I cut her out of my life?
There was nothing I could say, she was right
She had so many questions that hurt me so
But nothing like the pain I caused her I know
I cried my first tear
I let go of all my fears
All the times I could’ve
All the times I should’ve
I let them all go, left the past in the past
Here she was in front of me at last
I asked, “Will you ever forgive me?”
“I did dad, a long time ago can’t you see?”
“I prayed for you!”
“I waited for you!”
“I did have so much anger and hate
But God taught me that love was the only way.”
“As hard as it was I slowly learned to forgive
So that I could learn to live.”
“I opened up the walls surrounding my heart.”
“Here I am dad, willing to give us another start!”
I lost it all, I crumbled in her arms
I promised her I would never again harm
If God could help us reunite
Then I knew I had to give Him my life
Thank you for mended relationships
Thank you God for fixing this
Never again will something come in between
I will spend the rest of my life letting her know how much she means

My new smash #1 hit song. Crossed over to country, rock , pop and Christian charts. #1 in 37 countries, over 3 million downloads. That my friends is called visualization. Now let’s see what you think and make it happen.
Just add music and the right voice, maybe like Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October or Chris Brown from One Less Reason or Meat Loaf, but the last two have new cd’s out so maybe the next one and Blue October had new cd at beginning of year so…
