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
