My Child
Tore it up again, I couldn’t stop againLet it go till there was nothing in the wayFought the feeling then, I gave in againSweet surrender to the angel I deniedWhen you came to life I was terrifiedI knew that nothing else would ever feel the sameDoubt came over me; what kind of father would I be?I knew the time had come to stand up and be a manTo change the face of my lifeWith your future in mindTime to do what is rightA new beginning
The world around me diedWhen I saw that heartbeatI knew it wasn’t a sinCan someone tell me whyThis has happened to me?Why was it only in deathWere you redeemed, my child?
No serenity within agonyEvery day brings onA hundred ways to fightConstant scrutinyI can feel you judging meResurrecting every demon that’s insideHer face was horrifiedYou struggled still aliveMy one desire was to trade my soul for yoursGrief crippled me, the reaper cheated meLeft me yearning for the path I'd come to adoreTo change the face of my lifeWith your future in mindTime to do what is rightA new beginning
The world around me diedWhen I saw that heartbeatI knew it wasn’t a sinCan someone tell me whyThis has happened to me?Why was it only in deathWere you redeemed, my child?
My child
The world around me diedWhen I saw that heartbeatI knew it wasn’t a sinCan someone tell me whyThis has happened to me?Why was it only in deathWere you redeemed, my child?
I pray you were redeemed, my child
