Second Chance

I wake to heartache each day of my life 
It’s been the same since I was a child
No father figure that I recall
Just the abuse and the drunken brawls
		 
I just wish that I could change it all 
Back the way I want it to be 
Just me and mum and my sisters too

Here I lay no place to call home 
Sick of coming down all alone
I need a fix my aching bones

Yea!!! One big happy family 
Back the way it should have been
Just me and mum and my sisters too

My home today is six by four 
Bars all around and a lock on the door
Do as you’re told every single day
Cause if you don’t there’s hell to be payed

I just wish that I could change it all 
Back the way I want it to be 
Just me and mum and my sisters too

I’m not to proud of the road I walk 
Hurt to many people the way I live
It’s time for me to be a man 
Yes it’s time for my little man
Yes It’s time for him to have a dad
It’s time to be there for my little man

 It’s time for me to be a man 
Yes it’s time for my little man
Yes It’s time for him to have a dad
It’s time to be there for my little man
		
Yea!!! One big happy family 
Back the way it should have been
Just me and mum and my sisters too
