A father
No hope
Yet he struggles on

Three children
And he has to keep his job

A mother
She left them
So selfish in her deeds

The father so loving
So attentive to the needs
Of his children
Who are so young and so naive

They would have no idea
For years to come
They have no idea
Of his selfless love

Their mother
She loves them
But not enough
Excuses, excuses
Why they cannot come
To stay with her

She's restless
Keep moving
Never stays in the same place

Her children
They love her
But can't remember her face

Three children
Now two
'Cause the other is long gone
She left to "fulfill her needs and wants"
Now mother and daughter
Not happy still
Doesn't matter though
They'll just pop another pill

The father still fights on
But married again
His children
They still have no idea
Of how much he loved them
Through those hard years

So much anger, worry and tears

A father
So strong
Teaching his kids
To fight on

His children
Now so strong
They now know how to fight
