I remember all the days before
And the faces full of love and laughter
But I've forgotten how to make it last
And the memories leave me struggling after
Something that was never real
A bitter taste to testify
Against the lies and terror, this redemption

Cannot be my last endeavor
I walk along the ocean again
And you're standing near the frantic water
But I cannot make it through the sand
And the fear of you, my only father
Leaves me crying out for hope and reason
Please, let my pain recede and show him
How to find a better way
For the man I am today waits for you
