Fatherless

Here's to my desire to remember what he left.

But, there was no time for sentiment as he took his final breath.

I was not too broken to hope for a helping hand, but I had to fight to find it.

Eight years old is too young to become a man; I left my hope behind me.

I was just another angry kid, growing up without a dad.

So I sold my soul for the highest bid, to get the love I never had.

Tell me who I am.

A kid that turned to the world for identity.

I can hardly stand.

Trying to find myself, I confined myself.

Now I've come to see, it was never "me" I was looking for…

It was always Him, it was always Him.

Born from a broken home.

When my father died, I was left to find my way through life alone.

Left on my own, I put my pain on display as I fought with hatred and rage.

No son should ever have to face the world without the love of his father.

I faced the world alone.

I had no one to run to, and everything to run from.

I had no one to run to, and everything to run from.

I buried my hope in the ground.

Drowning, with no one to pull me out, sinking inside my head.

I was just another angry kid growing up without a dad,

So I sold my soul for the highest bid to get the love I never had.

Tell me who I am.

A kid that turned to the world for identity.

I can hardly stand.

Trying to find myself, I confined myself.

Now I've come to see, it was never "me" I was looking for…

It was always Him, it was always Him.

Tell me who I am.

I can hardly stand.

Now I've come to see, it was never "me" I was looking for…

It was always Him, it was always Him.
