Clock Is Ticking

Where are you Who am I Never a word from you No hello, no goodbye Someone else took me in Taught me everything they knew Someone has always been there But that someone was never you It is hard to fight anger For a man will buy revenge with his soul Eighteen years of stored up hatred For your decision some twenty-two years ago A life altering event Didn't even leave me with a choice No mother-child bond Not even the sound of your voice You gave me away Never called, never sent a letter An open adoption A child left to wonder And as the years flew by A hole grew deep inside With a hate that never died All because you never tried And everywhere I looked Was nothing but lies And maybe one day you'll wonder what became of me Just maybe you will try to find me Or maybe you will just leave it all to fate Either way the clock is ticking Hurry up and choose before its too late
