Forever In Debt
The thing I've seen
It's the type of things you see on movie screens; the story of a dead beat dad
He couldn't handle it so he packed up his bags and made a run for it fast
He left us alone; my brother, my sister and my mom
Told my brother "now your grown"..in the middle of the night, then he went out of sight.
Years later now he wants to make it right.
I was too young to see it, too young to understand
That this father I had wanted could have never been a man
And I would fight my mom thinking that she was always wrong, but she was being strong
She was getting us along
And all he did was hold us back
Now I see it's fact because he always seemed to slack or seemed to slip off track.
My mother is my rock
She's something that he's not.
She's my father, my mother, my friend and my pride
She's the reason that I strive, the reason I don't mind taking an extra shift at night
Or work my hardest until I die
Because my life won't be worth living unless she gets to live hers high
That's my long term goal.. I'll never forget and i'm forever in debt
For the love that you have never regret.
