You had it
The job you wanted
Swore it'd change your life

And the house
You had truly believed
Was what your family needed

But your heart
Still felt too heavy
To give to your wife

Unable to understand
Why happiness never came
It wasn't something easily explained

So you searched
The moon and stars
And all the stories written

Hoping to find
Your peace and all
The hidden glories of heaven

Searching so long
You never saw, you
Already had what you needed

And you didn't
Even know the sound
Of your child's heart beating

Many years later
As your body began
To slowly tear itself apart

That is when
You stopped to listen
For that voice calling "daddy"

But by then
That child has gone
Your wife's light has died

That is when
You finally will realize
All that you really had
