A Life Never Lived
A Life Never Lived
I hear them quarrel
About my life
So cold and immorel
Words like a knife
The truth is ungloved
I am not wanted
I am not loved
I feel quite daunted
How can this be?
I want to live!
To be us three
To grow and thrive
I want to learn from you two
What is right and wrong
To get through and through
To be big and strong!
I want the chance
To live a life
To have a dance
With my future Wife
To see my little ones
Run and play
To watch my sons
Grow up someday
I want the chance to grow old
To remember the time
That was so gold
And sublime
And when my life decides to end
My thought of both of you
As I descend
Oh how blessed I was to know you two.
But the decision was made
I will never grow
I feel dismayed
But I want you to know
I desperately want the both of you
The thought of us three
I wish I could change that to be true!
My father, my mother, and me
