lyrics
There was never love in the first place,
But he knew he had to make it right.
A head full of memories he can’t kick,
Staring into his baby’s eyes.
He never thought he’d follow their footsteps,
But here he is only 19.
A promises to his son made with warm breath,
I won’t leave you like they did me.
No, he lives a life of solitude.
But that pattern is gone today.
No, he keeps his anger deep inside.
No, he’s a big boy now, no he won’t cry.
So there he goes working that damn job,
Make the money, gotta feed the kid.
Put aside for an education,
He’s got himself spread pretty thin.
And mummy’s gone, yeah she took off,
With no family to lend a hand.
But he ain’t like all the others, no,
He’s a better man.
He grew up not knowing.
He grew up “In Care Of”.
Raised in a program.
They were only there until their shift was up.
He grew up not knowing.
He grew up “In Care Of”.
Raised in a program.
They were only there until their shift was up.
No, he lives a life of solitude.
But that pattern is gone today.
No, he keeps his anger deep inside.
No, he’s a big boy now no he won’t cry.
A child is a blank canvas,
You gotta give them art, you gotta give them direction.
They’re lost without creativity,
In the dark with no ambitions, no dreams.
No, he lives a life of solitude.
But that pattern is gone today.
No, he keeps his anger deep inside.
No, he’s a big boy now no he won’t cry.
