My Father

How can they say that they will ever forget, a life so full of regret?
What do they know? No one knows better than me.
I can't help but see, there's no future here for me.

Who could misplace me when I have never been any place but lost?
I bare my cross that no one built but me.
Who can account for all the time that's designed to cost.
I can't help myself I never could.
If I had my way I'd be understood. If I had my way I'd be good.

Life can be vicious no matter your wishes or hopes may be.
You can pray on bended knee.
Trust in yourself if God seems to be playing a better hand somewhere else.
You will never be alone. He will show you the way.

I feel so foolish all I learned in school is to run away.
Tomorrow is another day my Father would say.
You will never be alone. He will show you the way.

What can I say that hasn't been said before?
Why look for the direction to lead when I should follow?
What do they know?
Who could misplace me when I've never been any place but lost?
I bare my cross that no one built but me.
Who can account for all the time that's designed to cost.
I can't help myself I never could.
If I had my way I'd be understood if I had my way I'd be good.
You will never be alone. He will show you the way.
Tomorrow is another day. My Father would say.
