Failed

It’s difficult to realize that you may have let you child down
Life moves, we have a perspective that we build up
How couldn’t I have known, why didn’t I see, I was around
It’s very tough

I wanted to be an excellent parent but I somewhat failed
Failed to adapt, failed to learn
Time to move on and try to prevail
Show I can do better, time to turn

Turn, yeah… change a few things and hope our future improves
Time… time… sands falling, got to see clear
Time to change, make some moves
My children, they don’t know how much I need them near

Not near as in living , near as in life
Failing them is failing me
I have lived, I have advice
Experience, journey’s, I just want them to see

See a man, a father they can trust
That is a must
