Name

You call out my name
Say it in vain
Everything that goes wrong I'm to blame
Say you don't believe in me
How foolish can you be
Tell you son 
with you I ain't done
Go ahead walk away
You will see the truth one day
Turn your back
Till life starts to attack 
I give you life 
I help you through the strife
I wonder how you can even look around and not see me there
It's simply that you don't care
I walk with you 
I talk with you
I cried for you
As I died for you
Still you don't believe in me
The blind just can't see
See the beauty all around
That where I'll be found
Footprint in the sand
To the kindness of a  helping hand

See the beauty of the sky
My hand upon you as you cry
To say you don't care
How can you dare
Breaking my heart
I can feel it falling apart 
When you say you you don't believe 
Cause it was you that wanted  to leave
Think you don't need me
But you must see
I can't tell you what to do
Your heart must be true
Raise your voice
Make your own choice
This much is true
It is all on you
