New life greets this earth
She's born anew and so am I
My life's no longer for own
To live in my old broken way
So I set out with inner strength
Resolve that I have never known
And we know joy
For a time
And yet my grip is slipping
And yes my will is failing
Just like so many times before
New life is slowly shattered
Through all the years
And all the lies
For all the tears
And missed good-byes
Dulled memories
Sweet lullabies
You see me now
With open eyes
Been down this road so many times
I know it well
I see the end is near
But it doesn't slow me down (Why would it now?)
I'm sorry child
For all I did
And all I didn't do
I never wanted to desert you
I do believe, in Hell
The failure that I am
Will meet the man
Your father should have been
Forgive me
I beg you child
Remember who I was
And not what I am
Please, please, remember
