Father, i wish you knew what this was doing to me, if you could only see me here,
sitting on one knee, silently losing a tear.
Father, i wish you would close the door, if you loved us you wouldn't do this,
do you remember when i was four, and you gave me cigarettes for Christmas?
Do you remember when you hit me? Do you remember all the drunken fights,
where all mom could do was flee? I remember all of those nights.
So as you sit down stairs, What are you doing besides repeating the past?
Where are your cares? Why is the flag at half mast?
Father I'm doing this for you, if only there was another way,
but this is all that is left to do, I hope you have a good day.
Baby girl, your eyes are moving side to side, as if your focus cannot stay on me,
my arms are open wide, for your word is my heart's decree.
Baby, you freeze me when you walk away, time stands still when our hands meet,
what words are there left to say? You make my heart beat.
Do you remember when we first met, and kept a secret journal together?
Do you remember sleeping while the sun set? I can't forget you, no never.
Where are you when i need you the most, wheres the love when your turning your back?
Your like a ghost, that's fading to white and black.
Baby let's not pretend that your alone tonight, if there's a heaven I'll see you there,
i know you fear this plight, but the end is all thats fair.
People, take a look around, look at this world once beautiful now downtroden,
where are the trees abound, where are the grounds once sodden?
