New life greets this earth

She's born anew and so am I

My life's no longer for own

To live in my old broken way

So I set out with inner strength

Resolve that I have never known

And we know joy,

For a time…

And yet my grip is slipping

And yes my will is failing

Just like so many times before

New life is slowly shattered

Through all the years

And all the lies

For all the tears

And missed good-byes

Dulled memories

Sweet lullabies

You see me now

With open eyes

Been down this road so many times

I know it well

I see the end is near

But it doesn't slow me down (Why would it now?)

I'm sorry child

For all I did

And all I didn't do

I never wanted to desert you

I do believe, in Hell,

The failure that I am

Will meet the man

Your father should have been

Forgive me

I beg you child

Remember who I was

And not what I am

Please, please, remember
