Drunken Father

(Chorus)= You try to push me around,
But I'm not going down,
I keep coming back,
I stand up to you,
Don't know if I'll forgive you,
I keep coming back,
This Thing's not over yet,
You haven't broken me yet,
I keep coming back.

(Close)= You tried to push me around,
But I never went down,
I kept coming back,
I stood up to you,
I know I can forgive you,
I kept coming back,
This thing's not over yet,
I haven't saved you yet,
I'll keep coming back.

1-It began so long ago,
But I never let it show,
I'd find places to run,
Hide and wait for the sun,
You don't know, just how many times,
I contemplated my suicides,
I cry myself to sleep at night,
I pray for the gift of flight,
I thought someday I would stand,
And meet the force of your hand.

(Chorus)

2-One night you came to me,
Stumbling and yelling at me,
I stepped up to you,
I failed but I tried to,
I took it on the chin,
And felt the pain begin,
As I fade from reality,
I feel as if hope's lost on me,
Next day, I woke up in the sun,
I cried to God to show love.

(Chorus)

3-Things don't seem worth the pain,
It seems my faith has been in vain,
Why do these things happen to me?
Why would He let these things be?
I find it harder to believe,
In things that seem to deceive,
I'm begging Him, if He's real,
Show me something, make me feel,
I'm sinking too fast now,
Save myself, I don't know how.

(Chorus)

4-Finally few years passed,
Things changed this time from last,
I step up, you take your swings,
I've finally gotten those wings,
You can't hurt me anymore,
Not now that I can soar,
I'm finally safe and totally free,
When I needed Him, He came to me,
I've finally made it through,
I know I owe it all to you.
