DaDa (The Child)

"To forgive is divine...
I'm only human."

So I ask you now in the dark all alone
Did I ever rate a thought?
Or did you close your eyes and have a pleasant life
While another man taught

Me how to do the things I know now
Dry the tears I cried
Watch my bones break and grow
As the child within me died

So now you come back asking for pardon
Some twenty-five years gone
But as I look back over my shoulder for you
I see nothing so I move on...
So that's the way it's been no dada for me
But now I have a son
And as I tuck him in and kiss him goodnight
I know I'll be the one

To teach him all the things he knows now
Dry the tears he cries
Watch his bones become strong and grow
And keep the child within him alive...

"And so it ends..."
