A Child In Need

Yes, I am a child in need Of the ones that gave me life and planted the seed You encouraged me to grow and live life to it's fullest Now that I'm grown up you still think you know what's best Even after 3 beautiful grandchildren you still don't accept fully the life we together have made Please tell me somebody "How do I make the grade?" Do I always have to be dependent For you to get involved in our life and have your heart in it Why must I live life as a child in need Because of someone else's selfishness and greed When will I be told the truth in the matter Or will the glass finally have to shatter
