From Underneath Lyrics

Cover art for From Underneath lyrics by Hawk Nelson

I think this song is talking about how his father took off when he was little, and he left his family. And he never knew his father. And as he grew up, he turned into who he is because his father did this to him. And he never knows what it's like to stand next to him and everything. Eventually, his father has changed, and came back. And he forgives the guy he used to be and lets his father back in because he's changed. Before then, he was so close to the end of life because what had happened, but when his father came back, he looked the other way.

well when you said " to stand next to him" he means that he has never stood next to God. but other than that you pretty much got the meaning good <3 C=
