I know what your thinking
Was it always this way
Was it always a broken home
Wish I could tell you, it wasn't
but your mother and I
Were just a temporary spark
I need you to know
It that doesn't matter
For you, will always be
My first child
I won’t lie
I've never been more scared
Then the thought of never meeting you
Never getting to know you
It was the moment I first saw you
All black and white
That I felt what love truly meant
Out of lust
Comes something so precious
So amazing
I finally had a reason
A reason to be
And that was you
I'm not a great man
Not a hero
Truth is
I wouldn't even consider myself
A good man
I've done things, I regret
To get to where I am, today
I’ve been so Lost
My head all up, in the clouds
Living every day, at a time
No future, no desires
Beyond the moment
I've seen what evil is
In the man I was meant to look up to
Turned my life, into what it's become
Created a fear that lives deep inside
Your granddad is my biggest nightmare
But you'll never know what he's done
Because you don't need to worry
My past will not be yours
As long as I live!
I thought I had to fight wars
To prove I was different
But making sure my boy
Never grows up, fearing his old man
Making sure I'm your hero
I don't need the world, I only need your love
Your respect.
And most of all, your forgiveness
For all that I've done
All that I yet to do
Because I'll protect you with my life
Even if it’s against your own family
You will always have me
My darling boy!
