He tells me a story about seven years’ worth of pain
When she took his children away
How could she hurt him this way?
She said it was the drug abuse,
But he felt that she used that as an excuse to run and hide
Years later once the children have grown
She returns once his life has been slowly pieced back together
Sadly, no time can erase the pain he had to endure
Nor recapture the time lost watching his children grow
Further she stole away his right to be a father
When our lives are thrown about
We often lose control
When we lose control,
We lose the will to live
When we lose the will to live,
We think of doing things to end the pain
Luckily, there came a time when he woke up
And decided that his life was worth living
And no matter what the past was,
The past is the past and this is the future
For this is the time to live and the time to live is now
Never let anyone stop you from living
As you control the road you take
But our fate is out of our hands
