CHORUS
|
where?where were you? just when i needed you
|
daddy where were you
|
where?where were you?just when i needed you
|
mommy where were you
|
(golden child)
|
what up pops i aint got to tell you my heart is as hard as a rock
|
things have changed since i was the age six
|
yet some situations stay the same
|
like the way i conceal my pain
|
growing up i'd swear my name was every profane thing a man could say
|
i used to make excuses like you weren't the one that hit her
|
it was just the liquor in ya
|
my dad the perfect example of hatred and why am i so bitter?
|
ya told me real men dont cry that was a lie
|
you dont realize what goes on inside of my mind
|
as time passed my heart ran cold my emotions froze
|
lost track of the bruises and the broken bones
|
just once wanted to hear that you loved me
|
wrap your arms around me and hug me yeah right
|
remember the first time i couldnt feel the pain
|
it was when grandma came and took me to church
|
where God relieved the hurt and he knows it took work
|
but i forgave you he could save you but the question is
|
will you let him in it would be such a blessing
|
to see you as a changed man and holdin my mother's hand
|
CHORUS
