Anything For You
Baby girl, you are my world
So why can't I fix what ails you?
I am told that I say and do the wrong thing
How else am I to fail you?
I hurt when you hurt but I'm told
I have no right
I try to show you how much I care
Even though I'm not always within sight
Inside, I feel great despair
I gave birth to you but you are not mine
Please listen, oh please mind so instead
of quarreling why not say what is kind
I love you so much, I often wonder
What goes through your mind
And I hope that someday you can
See past whatever keeps you blind
Why the thought of losing you is
Why I continue this fight or flight
For all will reveal itself to you in due time
