leaving behind others to take your place
Carrying on your name, walking around with your face
Knowing you got left behind,
Wondering what's on my fathers mind,
He didn't even think to try
To leave my mother with tears down her face, left me to only embrace
Only for me to ask her Why?
My mother can give me answers; my father left behind
For he can give his love to another
But he can't give his love to me
My mother would give her life,
As she has given life to me,
My father I hope to love
Will he ever really love me?
He can take and make a life and keep living on
But what is it like to be hurt by your father
He doesn't know because he doesn't care
He left me alone here in the darkness but a bright white light guides me
Back to reality, my father may have left me But I still have my dignity
My life will go on and so will his
Our paths may cross
He will see how I have grown
But the man is no longer my father
I'm my own person now No thanks to him
I am proud of myself
My family are my stone and he is the sand
As the grains drift away, the stone will still stand
My family are my life and Nothing will change that
When he left he was no longer our dad
He has made his choice And so have I
