Old Mr. Donavan, now I know I never knew him
Two men of the same blood and skin.

I used to look up to him… old Mr. Donavin.

I carried your name across every ocean and sea,
but when I came home there was nothing but a dead tree.

As you have got to know me,
I am nothing that you raised me to be.

As you continue to burn trees, you know the next time that you see me.
Will be when I have to bury you at sea, and this world is free of thee.

Old Mr. Donavan, now I know I never knew him
Two men of the same blood and skin.

I used to look up to him… Old Mr. Donavin.

Not having a Father is a silent pain I have failed to repress,
but I have been given everything I need from God and a Chief’s Mess.

A beautiful star taught me how to love and forgive,
but I never want to see your face as long as you live.

Old Mr. Donavan, now I know I never knew him
Two men of the same blood and skin.

I used to look up to him… Old Mr. Gone… Again.
