WALK AWAY-daddy


I lift my head 
look the world in the eye 
I've been given a load a shit 
Lord--and I don't know why 
  
Born to a world of pain 
you gave more than your share 
You took what I would never give 
But then who said life was fair 
  
The heavens cry for me 
I have fallen from grace 
I made dying my reason to live 
now- I spit in YOUR face 
  
You take without giving 
Don't you know nothing is for free 
You will pay with your soul 
while I walk away free
