I Will Walk Alone

When will I see you next, at times I'm so unclear, will it be at your funeral? For this is what I fear. When will I hear your voice and what should I say, I don't dare ask you Daddy, why you went away... Should I pretend nothing happened, or ask why you don't come around, or do I wait for that dreadful day they place you in the ground? What will your tombstone read, what will your family say? they wont speak about me daddy, or how you went away. They will speak of things that their daddy would say and do, they will speak of my daddy, one I never knew. They will speak of a life you lived, one that made them proud, a life I couldn't see or have because I wasn't allowed. They will place you in the ground, and I will surly cry. I'll finally know my daddy, the day that he will die. I will walk alone, Ill have no one by my side, with no one ever knowing, that was my daddy who just died.
