Dad...can you tell me where is Mom?
is it that hard to answer?
Yes, I know:
she went with Grandpa, and she's with uncle Sam but,
why did she leave us so soon?
wll you ever stop crying every night?
am I not grown up enough to know the truth?
Did she love me?
do you love me, dad?
Grandma told me, she loved me with all her heart,
that you and grampa too
and that you all have all your fate in me,
but your face seems to be so sad
I know you hide it behind your smile.

Dad...why your nightmares never stop?
are you still dreaming about the War?
last night you were calling Mom out loud,
I'm sad for you,
what can I do for you?
aren't you happy for me?
next year I'll become a man.
I'm 13 now!!!
Am I not good enough to stop
your war against the world.

Dad...did you and Mom did that for me?
did she choose, or was it you?
I'm the only one to blame
my birth just became disgrace.

Her life for mine,
Your happiness for mine,
would you be happier if you were with her
instead of me?
do you feel that I take her away from you?

Dad, please tell me,
are you proud of me?

please don't make me cry
can you sing me a song?
will you forgive me?
you think she's sad for us?
I don't beleive in your words,
you don't love me...
my life is away from light
I'm a ghost now,
behold what's left of your son...
am I not beautiful?
