The night is always dark
After the sun begins to set
But in the absence of the light
Come the moments you can't forget
Like the time that I first saw you
Straight from your mother's womb
Came with darkness all around us,
But you lit the entire room.
See, Daddy felt lost
Didn't know who he was
And even when I held you
I was lost in your love
I Had a lot of problems
Couldn't see the light
Gotta thank your mother
For all the times she tried
She held it all together
She did it for you
Even when it felt wrong
She still pushed through
Even with my girls
I just felt so numb
Going through the motions
To the beat of the drum
I couldn't figure life out
Didn't know how to feel
I saw your pretty eyes
But it wasn't real
I was locked in my head
Why can't I see
Everything I needed
Right in front of me
The darkness takes over
I couldn't even try
She's crying right in front of me
But my eyes are dry
I shoulda been there for you
It just took me way too long
To see what was important
To find where I belong
But now my eyes are open
And I know that things are strange
Yet I'm making progress
Because I feel the pain of change
