I Cannot Turn Back

I cannot turn back The things I said I cannot turn back Time For, the people I need Are now dead What would they think? Of things I say and do I need them Before I sink Now... When I need them most I cannot speak For I need them For their strength For, I am weak I cannot turn back Things I said I cannot turn back time For the people I need Are now dead I wish everyday For a chance To say To listen One more time To my father I cannot speak to... The people I need For, they are dead One day I will meet them on an Autumns' day and hear what they say I live in two worlds One, where I speak The other... Where, I am weak Which one I am in now? I cannot tell!
