Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to the lord our souls he'll keep
And if one of us should die before we could see
That we could have been so much more
...

Take me back to the days
When people believed in chivalry
Being a good man was a goal
Take me back to the days when children were a gift
...

I lock myself in this bathroom
Crying for you
I want my daddy
Where is he
...

The clock ticks away the seconds pass by
I am still here nothing
The clock ticks away the minutes pass by
I am still here nothing has changed
...

I smell the air I touch the grass I want to roll around in it
I see the blue sky and the white clouds
I want to touch them if only I could
I feel a tickle in my heart when I hear the my children laugh
...

Make it go away
This fear
This uncertainty
Make it go away
...

I am the whisper in the breeze,
the laughter in the rain,
the warmth of the sun,
the light shining through the clouds
...

Son love and be happy
Go out and embrace the world
Do not be afraid
Be yourself and make no apologies for it
...

You've never said it
but I can see it in your eyes
something passed between us
that our eyes cannot disguise
...

A Child crying into the mirror
Holding her hand to its reflection
Daddy I want my daddy
To almost a woman putting on makeup
...

To feel your hands once again
To feel your warm breathe on my neck
To feel your lips on mine
To see in your eyes the longing for me
...

A love so pure
Is what you gave
Said you love me
Till the end of days
...

I will never leave you
Though we are lost
Though time may age us
Though rivers may take us
...

A new life is what you wanted
To be loved was what you yearned for
So you left us behind and went out the door
Don’t look back
...

You enter the room
You suck the air right out of me
You look at me
You walk to me
...

You looked on me adoringly
Who is this man so young
That all the men follow
With a good heart and good intentions
...

For our children
For there future
For there purity
For there vulnerability
...

I sit here
I can’t sleep
Thoughts race through my head
Reach out
...

Don’t cry no more Mark Anthony
Things will go your way
Don’t cry no more Mark Anthony
There is sunshine through the rain
...

What once was
Can never be
To see you now
Its amazing
...
