My Child

Tore it up again, I couldn't stop again
Letting go till there was nothing in the way
Fuck the feeling then, I cave in again
Sweet surrender to the angel I deny
When you came to life I was terrified
I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same
Doubt came over me, what kind of father would I be?
Another time I could stand up and be a man
To change a face in my life
(To change a face in my life)
Your future and mine
(Your future and mine)
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning

The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?

No serenity within agony
Every day brings on
A hundred ways to fight
Constant scrutiny
I can feel you judging me
Resurrecting every demon that's inside
The priest was horrified
You struggled for the life
That one desire was the dream I sought for yours
Creeps cripple me, the reaper kidded me
Left me early for the path I'd come to adore
To change a face in my life
Your future and mine
Time to do what is right
(what is right)
A new beginning

The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?

My child,
The world around me died
When I saw that heartbeat
I knew it wasn't a sin
Can someone tell me why
This has happened to me?
Why was it only in death
Would you redeem my child?

I pray you will redeem my child
