Lyrics
------------- Father -----------
On a cold dark night I reached out in need,
Only knowing my Reality, that I was Alone.
I don’t know my Father, my sisters or brother,
I watch people pass by me, on their way home.
refrain: Does anybody see me, Does anybody care,
Feelings that I’m feeling, Needing some repair,
I need to be touched I need to be held....I need to be Loved, I believe in
your Love.
I’ve got no respect & I’ve lost all my dignity,
Don’t even Know who this persons inside of me.
I look in the mirror see the shell of what use to be,
A corpse’s looking back at me, Its So painful to see.
Chorus: Father, I call you my brother I (Love) like no other
You gave me my faith/(My Faith) to carry on. The power that love is,
Gives me my strength, when all Hope was gone.. The strength to carry on.
I can’t go on, living life its insanity.
Despair & Depravity, are what I call home.
I put a gun to my head, when you walked in my life,
Filling me up with words, That only I understood
