📝 LYRICS – My Father’s Old Coat
I found it one day in the rafters above,
My father's old coat, threadbare but with love.
The scent of the peat, and a rip in the sleeve,
Spoke louder than words he could ever leave.

And I walk in his coat through the wind and the rain,
Each step tells a story of sorrow and strain.
The years couldn't break what the silence made whole—
My father's old coat, and his unspoken soul.
[Instruments swell slightly and pause at final line]

A ration book tucked in the lining I found,
From days in the trenches, far underground.
No medals, no letters, no glory to claim,
Just mud on the hem and a whisper of shame.

And I walk in his coat through the wind and the rain,
Each step tells a story of sorrow and strain.
The years couldn't break what the silence made whole—
My father's old coat, and his unspoken soul.

Now I rise with the sun and the fields at my feet,
The same crooked path, the same bitter sleet.
I carry his quiet, his fire, his load—
And I'm still learning the weight of that coat.

Now I walk in his coat with a child of my own,
And I teach him the strength that my father had shown.
Though time may erase all the paths that we tread,
His coat tells the tale of the living and dead.
