A dad that never was

Don't worry there son, eventually you'll be a man
And through adversities, do all you can
To maintain posture, throughout your life
Twist and turn it, make something of your strife

But you'll never be and you'll never know
And I'll never be there to watch you grow
Cause you were never meant to be
But it's your face, I'll always see

I'll always see you haunting me

Don't fret baby girl, if men break your heart.
Even if they tries, to make you out as a tart
Just maintain your pride, and maintain you soul
Cause daddy says; "forget all they've told"

But you'll never be and you'll never know
And I'll never be there to watch you grow
Cause you were never meant to be
Despite what I accepted why can't you see

That it's what I want?

I want a house, I want a wife
I want a son, I want a life
I want a life to call my own
I want that thing, I've never known

A family...

But I'm ready to forget all you've done
There is no reason to turn and run
Just come to me and rest in my arms
Daddy will always protect you from harm
