[00:29.64]Daddy I've been thinkin' about you lately
[00:32.28]Mama's never here and step daddy hates me
[00:36.30]He drinks a lot, it makes him so mean
[00:39.64]Mama always screams and it gives me bad dreams
[00:43.31]Today I dropped my bowl of s'ghetti on the floor
[00:46.18]I didn't mean to make a mess, I tripped on one of my toys
[00:50.46]I tried to clean it up, really I tried
[00:53.42]But I just made it worse so I went to my room to hide
[00:57.92]I knew if Benny saw it I'd be in so much trouble
[01:01.39]I didn't want to, but I did
[01:03.40]And the thought of gettin' hit scared me so I didn't tell him
[01:08.26]Benny saw it, he took off his belt and
[01:12.06]You know... he hit me with it
[01:14.90]Then he pushed my face in to the carpet where the s'ghetti spilted
[01:20.14]But I forgive him though
[01:22.21]I love you daddy, I guess I gotta go
[01:26.39]There's a moth on my window seal
[01:29.57]And it came to die alone
[01:33.24]Through the pain of the pouring rain
[01:36.76]I gaze into the storm
[01:40.28]And I imagine I'm the son of a man
[01:44.15]Who will hold me close and near
[01:47.50]With these bruises on my face I cry
[01:51.04]While I pray to disappear
[02:08.17]Daddy are you there?
[02:11.30]I know you're probably busy off working somewhere
[02:14.92]Helpin' somebody, build a house or somethin' neat
[02:19.05]You told me what you did, carpentry, right?
[02:22.31]Man, that's so cool, daddy
[02:25.60]I really miss you, so much that I would kiss you
[02:29.39]Yeah even front of my friends
[02:33.11]I guess you know I'm gettin' sick again
[02:36.45]I've been throwin' up, I haven't been playin' much
[02:39.32]I missed a lot of school this week, but I'm tough
[02:43.64]I'll make it, you know me, daddy
[02:46.70]I don't get what I want most of the time but I'm patient
[02:51.49]Hey if you get a second
[02:53.65]Maybe tomorrow you could come by just to check in
[02:58.54]Because my babysitter's crazy
[03:00.83]Mama don't believe me but she makes me get naked
[03:05.65]And I'm embarrassed so I hide it
[03:07.73]I'm tellin' you because you know my heart and what's inside it
[03:12.37]I gotta go to sleep but don't turn off the lights
[03:15.33]I love you daddy, or should I say Christ?
[03:33.44]There's a moth on my window seal
[03:36.98]And it came to die alone
[03:40.30]Through the pain of the pouring rain
[03:44.02]I gaze into the storm
[03:47.26]And I imagine I'm the son of a man
[03:50.91]Who will hold me close and near
[03:54.33]With these bruises on my face I cry
[03:58.32]While I pray to disappear
[04:15.91]When the weeping willow tree sways from the breeze
[04:20.20]I float away
[04:23.77]To the end of the world, to the moon, to the stars
[04:27.20]To the heavens where I'm safe
[04:29.19]I’m a child, not a prey. I’m an angel, enslaved
[04:32.23]I'm a life, I'm a world, I'm a rose, put to waste
[04:35.78]Wake me up, let me live, let me breathe, let me breathe
[04:39.35]Give me love, give me soul, give me guidance, give me peace
[04:46.35]
