For Today - Fatherless lyrics
[For Today - Fatherless lyrics]
Here's to my desire to remember what he left
But there was no time for sentiment
As he took his final breath
I was not too broken to
Hope for a helping hand
But I had to fight to find it
Eight years old is too young to become a man
I left my hope behind me
I was just another angry kid
Growing up without a dad
So I sold my soul for the highest bid
To get the love I never had!
Tell me who I am!
A kid that turned to the world for identity
I can hardly stand
Trying to find myself, I confined myself
Now I've come to see
It was never me I was looking for
It was always Him, it was always Him!
Born from a broken home when my father died
I was left to find my way through life alone
Left on my own, i put my pain on display as
I fought with hatred and rage
No son should ever have to face the
World without the love of his father
I faced the world alone
I had no one to run to
And everything to run from
I had no one to run to
And everything to run from
I buried my hope in the ground
Drowning, with no one to pull me out
Sinking inside my head!
I was just another angry kid
Growing up without a dad
So I sold my soul for the highest bid
To get the love I never had
Tell me who I am!
A kid that turned to the world for identity
I can hardly stand
Trying to find myself, I confined myself
Now I've come to see
It was never me I was looking for
It was always Him, it was always Him!
Tell me who I am (Tell me who I am)
I can hardly stand (I can hardly stand)
Now I've come to see
It was never me I was looking for
It was always Him, it was always Him!
But there was no time for sentiment
As he took his final breath
I was not too broken to
Hope for a helping hand
But I had to fight to find it
Eight years old is too young to become a man
I left my hope behind me
I was just another angry kid
Growing up without a dad
So I sold my soul for the highest bid
To get the love I never had!
Tell me who I am!
A kid that turned to the world for identity
I can hardly stand
Trying to find myself, I confined myself
Now I've come to see
It was never me I was looking for
It was always Him, it was always Him!
Born from a broken home when my father died
I was left to find my way through life alone
Left on my own, i put my pain on display as
I fought with hatred and rage
No son should ever have to face the
World without the love of his father
I faced the world alone
I had no one to run to
And everything to run from
I had no one to run to
And everything to run from
I buried my hope in the ground
Drowning, with no one to pull me out
Sinking inside my head!
I was just another angry kid
Growing up without a dad
So I sold my soul for the highest bid
To get the love I never had
Tell me who I am!
A kid that turned to the world for identity
I can hardly stand
Trying to find myself, I confined myself
Now I've come to see
It was never me I was looking for
It was always Him, it was always Him!
Tell me who I am (Tell me who I am)
I can hardly stand (I can hardly stand)
Now I've come to see
It was never me I was looking for
It was always Him, it was always Him!
