A Lullaby For You

I know we all have our own path
I just wanna know where you are
The times won’t leave me so I just gotta know
Do you think of me? Do you remember who I am?
I know we all have our own path
I just wanna know where you are
The burden of a father is a crushing blow
As the days flow by, I feel a rushing low
How long has it been since I held you in my arms?
And why do I feel that I let it go? I let it flow
Why would I cower in the face of pressure?
Let me address the elephant in the room
Nothing’s more important to a daughter than a father
Who climbs the highest peak to become the moon that wasn’t meant for me
I know this cannot be it for me
Bound to a space where I live in my infamy
Blinded by the judgment of others
Who don’t understand that I love you
It’s unfortunate but it all has a meaning to it
At least that’s what I tell myself
Over and over and over and over again
Who am I trying to convince?
I’m just a failure on the edge of the fence
