It's been a while since I wrote to you, my old friend that I once knew
I hope you're happy now in what you chose to do and that forgiveness has found you too
Well I've been good and I've been bad, I've been happy I've been sad
But through all the lines I found the light from darker times to help me feel alright
I'll let the hands of my father give me strength, and let the eyes of my mother teach me how to live in grace
And the words from another wrapping me in warm embrace to get me through my hardest days
Throughout my years there's been pain masked by the whiskey in my veins
And all that time searching for someone else to blame instead of one to keep me sane
I'll let the hands of my father give me strength, and let the eyes of my mother teach me how to live in grace
And the words from another wrapping me in warm embrace to get me through my hardest days
