And One Day We'Re Gone

I’ve been there for him Every step of the way From the day he was born And then every day Though the errors he made As a child scared me It made me wonder The man he would be And now he’s a man And my fears are now real He does not understand The pain that I feel The questions I ask Have a purpose, you see I want him to be The man that I see But questions mean nothing When it’s all said and done If you can’t empathize You’re truly alone The lost empathy Is the worst thing, you know If you feel nothing for others You will never grow And growing means life And the changes we see Can do so much for others And all we can be If you choose not to change At the end of the day Blame everyone And say you’re okay You will never own All that you’ve done Don’t think you’ve not harmed And one day we’re gone
