A shimmer in your eyes
Was all I wished to see
But no hint of pride or acceptance could be heard
And I know I've done good, but all I want to be
Is accepted by my father, why aren't you proud of me?
You raised me up this way, to follow my dreams.
But once I went to chase them, I tore away the seams
Of the disguise that you wore so well
The truth is you feel hopeless and think I'll go to hell.
But daddy I shall promise, that I will show to you.
All of my intentions, which in my eyes are good and true.
I'm sorry you are gloomy and are hurt by my choice.
But I had to leave eventually and speak with my own voice.
