A story about you
Sad is the man who asks for honey
And you will not work a day for your hunger
Your hands are smooth as sheet rock such shame
Not willing to dance with the preacher’s daughter
The man rubs his chin only to scheme
A father that would ultimately abandon his own family
As his son or daughter will plead, don’t go!
His wife in tears. He continues to laugh with others
Saying my life is reclaimed
But you’re old, you’re weak asking for change
Your looks faded, your heart disintegrated, making love to your tonic and gin
You scream for help, the world around you abandons you with silence
However, somehow grace of the G-d grants one wish
You ask to be sat in front of the world’s greatest for counsel
[Wish granted] – such a break for a man who broke too many hearts
An earth shattering moment for someone crooked
A smile on his face, whiskey on his breath, he sits before the greatest
A little boy and girl with mature voices say Dad is that you?
