	A BALLAD FOR MY CHILDREN AND ABOUT PARENTHOOD
	Credits: CHAD LEWIS
	Story Behind the Song I WAS THINKING OF MY CHILDREN AND HOW I COULD POSSITIVELY AFFECT THIER LIVES ALSO INCLUDES SOME METAPHORS ON PARENTING Lyrics One by one you’ve come to me And one by one you will go In the time we have together I have so much to show you What used to be so important to me Was all together wrong Selfish bits of scattered wits Only carried me so long One by one I try to teach you All that I know is true show you what will fall aside and the evil that men do what buried me you will stand upon to see what lies ahead and make your way through this world to lead and not be led one day led to another and I knew I could free you one hope devoured another I know I can not be you one by one I disappoint you and send you on your way expectations are made of not wanting to feel that way all my hopes and dreams it seems rely on your desire save a place for my indignation the fuel to feed your fire one day led to another and I knew I could free you one hope devoured another I know I can not be you one by one you flee from me and leave this cage I’ve built irons left in the fire to burn and then to wilt looking back I hope you see my longing to keep pace but weary legs and a heavy heart and pride have sealed my fate one day led to another and I knew I could free you one hope devoured another I know I can not be you
