Never Had A Chance

Daddy, when will all those tears

wash away the hate and

where will I go from here?

Daddy, remember when I was a young

child all those nights I cried because all your

words cut so deep and our lives were torn apart.

Daddy, as I whisper to the heavens and to hell

where will hate lead us from here

but no one knew the severity of cruelty.

Daddy, you can’t hear me now

but I still feel the pain

you hated the helplessness in my eyes.

Daddy, everywhere I can hear your words

even the Lord can’t cancel this

no one can ever help me with this.

Daddy you left this world without a word

when will the hate be washed away

we had to say goodbye with no words.

Daddy, we never had a chance

and you can’t say we ever even tried!
