My Child

Tore it up again, I couldn’t stop again Letting go till there was nothing in the way f--k the feeling then, I cave in again Sweet surrender to the angel I deny When you came to life I was terrified I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same Doubt came over me; what kind of father would I be? Another time I could stand up and be a man To change a face in my life Your future and mine Time to do what is right A new beginning The world around me died When I saw that heartbeat I knew it wasn’t a sin Can someone tell me why This has happened to me? Why was it only in death Would you redeem my child? No serenity within agony Every day brings on A hundred ways to fight Constant scrutiny I can feel you judging me Resurrecting every demon that’s inside The priest was horrified You struggled for the life That one desire was The dream I sought for yours Creeps cripple me, the reaper kidded me Left me early for the path I’d come to adore To change a face in my life Your future and mine Time to do what is right A new beginning The world around me died When I saw that heartbeat I knew it wasn’t a sin Can someone tell me why This has happened to me? Why was it only in death Would you redeem my child? My child The world around me died When I saw that heartbeat I knew it wasn’t a sin Can someone tell me why This has happened to me? Why was it only in death Would you redeem my child? I pray you will redeem my child
