Cracked foundation,
Stone cold,
Here is my story,
Which I left untold.

Battling through,
Pain and fake smiles,
Walking alone,
Miles apon miles...

Fighting my demons,
Fighting the wind,
Hair in my mouth,
Goosebumps on my skin.

As I look up,
My eyes open wide,
Shaken and blue,
I walk inside.

Smoke in the air,
Sugar on my lips,
Flashback of memories,
Of all the things which I've missed.

I see my picture,
Hung up high on the wall,
I break down in tears,
To the ground I fall.

I raise my head,
A woman I see,
This isn't my mother,
But who is she!?

Her face so white,
She knows who I am,
She screams 'Daniel',
This woman understands,

I reach for the door,
I hear a loud cry,
I turn to see,
Daddy's crying eyes.

I run into his arms,
All my pain disappeared,
No more worry,
No more fears.

I hold on tight,
I can't let go,
I regret my mistakes,
This Daddy does know.

-----

Running away,
From doing wrong,
Isn't the answer,
You must be strong.

See Daddy said to me,
'See life as black and white,
Something's come easy,
Sometimes you must fight.'

Fight for you,
Fight for what you believe,
Live your life to the full,
Love, laugh and dream.
