He didn't have the answers To half the questions his son ask him A child's mind is a curious thing But when his son hugged him and said Dad You know I love you How much do you love me Daddy didn't have to think With his arms open wide Just as far as they could go He said as far as I can reach Is not enough to show I would give my life for you You are my flesh and blood I love you this much She stood there crying Broken-hearted Looking up at Him And said why are You doing this He looks down at her wanting to hold her And wipe her tears away He has to leave and that's the way it is She gave her son one last kiss With her arms open wide Just as far as they could go She said as far as I can reach Is not enough to show I would give my life for You You are my flesh and blood I love You this much And they raised his broken body above the crowd Drove in the nails as the rain came down With His arms open wide Just as far as they could go He said as far as I can reach Is not enough to show I would give my life for you You are my flesh and blood I love you this much I love you this much
