From a child to a man dreams we one shared
Trying to get back where I came, your the only one who cared
In a moment of madness you took your life, removed yourself from life
Cut your arms, jumped away, hurt me just like it was our knife
I never saw it coming, never saw your hurt
Was that because I was too complacent? Or were my eyes masked with dirt?
I traveled far after that day, and now I return nobody recognises my face
Though my features have not changed, internally there is to trace
We grew from children into men, we took our steps in life together
Maybe life moved too quick for you, but it was not clever
Since the day you left the hair has gone from funny to grey
But the dreams inside they live for another day
I cannot explain what you did or why you broke the trust we had
But as your children have grown into men I know you were a loving dad
At your funeral as the song played, nobody but I really understood
That underneath the anguish and hurt lied a heart of good
I live now in a life to celebrate the good times we shared
Maybe I lost the fight but the war I always cared
In memory of you I celebrate life, no matter what direction I take
Your name, in times of good, will never will be something I shall forsake
