[@fractaldimension4886]

When I was just a kid Everything I did, was to be like him Under my skin My father always thought If I was strong and fought Not like some albatross, id begin To fit in Look at me powerless and holding my breath Trying hard to repress what scared him to death It was not that easy to be his type of man To breathe freely was not in his plan And the best part of me Is what he wouldn't see I'm not my father's son I'm not the image of what he dreamed of With the strength of sparta and the patience of job Still couldn't be the one To echo what he'd done And mirror what was not in me So I jumped in my dreams and found an escape Maybe I went to extremes of leather and lace But the world seems brighter 6 inches off the ground And the air seemed lighter I was profound and I felt so proud Just to live out loud I'm not my father's son I'm not image of what he dreamed of With the strength of sparta and the patience of job Still couldn't be the one To echo what he'd done And mirror what was not In me The endless story of expectations wiring inside my mind Wore me down I came to a realization and i found a way to turn it around To see That I could just be me I'm not my father's son I'm not the image of what he dreamed of With the strength of sparta and the patience of job Still couldn't be the one To echo what he'd done And mirror what was not in me

I love this song. Billy can sing anything. He could sing how dry I am, and blow it out of the water with his voice and his own twist to it that would it the song his own. Love you Billy. I'm so very proud of you. Can't wait for you to come back home Pittsburgh so I can see you.💓💓💓💓
