| Daddy I’ve been thinkin' about you lately
|
| Mama’s never here and step daddy hates me
|
| He drinks a lot, it makes him so mean
|
| Mama always screams and it gives me bad dreams
|
| Today I dropped my bowl of s’ghetti on the floor
|
| I didn’t mean to make a mess, I tripped on one of my toys
|
| I tried to clean it up, really I tried
|
| But I just made it worse so I went to my room to hide
|
| I knew if Benny saw it I’d be in so much trouble
|
| I didn’t want to, but I did
|
| And the thought of gettin' hit scared me so I didn’t tell him
|
| Benny saw it, he took off his belt and
|
| You know… he hit me with it
|
| Then he pushed my face in to the carpet where the s’ghetti spilled it
|
| But I forgive him though
|
| I love you daddy, I guess I gotta go
|
| There’s a moth on my window seal
|
| And it came to die alone
|
| Through the pain of the pouring rain
|
| I gaze into the storm
|
| And I imagine I’m the son of a man
|
| Who will hold me close and near
|
| With these bruises on my face I cry
|
| While I pray to disappear
|
| Daddy are you there?
|
| I know you’re probably busy off working somewhere
|
| Helpin' somebody, build a house or somethin' neat
|
| You told me what you did, carpentry, right?
|
| Man, that’s so cool, daddy
|
| I really miss you, so much that I would kiss you
|
| Yeah even front of my friends
|
| I guess you know I’m gettin' sick again
|
| I’ve been throwin' up, I haven’t been playin' much
|
| I missed a lot of school this week, but I’m tough
|
| I’ll make it, you know me, daddy
|
| I don’t get what I want most of the time but I’m patient
|
| Hey if you get a second
|
| Maybe tomorrow you could come by just to check in
|
| Because my babysitter’s crazy
|
| Mama don’t believe me but she makes me get naked
|
| And I’m embarrassed so I hide it
|
| I’m tellin' you because you know my heart and what’s inside it
|
| I gotta go to sleep but don’t turn off the lights
|
| I love you daddy, or should I say Christ?
|
| When the weeping willow tree sways from the breeze
|
| I float away
|
| To the end of the world, to the moon, to the stars
|
| To the heavens where I’m safe
|
| I’m a child, not a prey, I’m an angel, enslaved
|
| I’m a life, I’m a world, I’m a rose, with the waste
|
| Wake me up, let me live, let me breathe, let me breathe
|
| Give me love, give me soul, give me guidance, give me peace |
