(I grew up in the shadows, without a guiding light)
I never knew your face, but I felt the weight of your night
(Parents' broken vows, a silent fight)
I searched for love in empty spaces, but it just wasn't right
But now I'm standing here, by your hospital bed
(Forgiveness is hard, but it's the only way to move ahead)
I see the pain in your eyes, and it makes me want to scream
(But I know it's not your fault, and I'm trying to break the scream)
I thought you didn't care, that you were never there
I felt the sting of abandonment, like a wound that wouldn't heal or share
(Silence was your language, but I learned to speak my mind)
But as I look at you now, I see a life left behind
But now I'm standing here, by your hospital bed
(Forgiveness is hard, but it's the only way to move ahead)
I see the pain in your eyes, and it makes me want to scream
(But I know it's not your fault, and I'm trying to break the scream)
I'm angry and I'm hurt, but I won't let it consume
I'll take what little time we have, and make amends for what we've known
(I'll be a better father, one day)
To someone who'll need me, and won't have to question why
Now I'm standing here, by your hospital bed
(Forgiveness is hard, but it's the only way to move ahead)
I see the pain in your eyes, and it makes me want to scream
(But I know it's not your fault, and I'm trying to break the scream)
I'll hold your hand tonight, and whisper "I forgive"
And though you're leaving me behind, I'll find a way to forgive
(I'll rise above the pain, and shine like a guiding light)
And be the father you never were, for another child in sight
