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
