Second Chance
I wake to heartache each day of my life
It’s been the same since I was a child
No father figure that I recall
Just the abuse and the drunken brawls
I just wish that I could change it all
Back the way I want it to be
Just me and mum and my sisters too
Here I lay no place to call home
Sick of coming down all alone
I need a fix my aching bones
Yea!!! One big happy family
Back the way it should have been
Just me and mum and my sisters too
My home today is six by four
Bars all around and a lock on the door
Do as you’re told every single day
Cause if you don’t there’s hell to be payed
I just wish that I could change it all
Back the way I want it to be
Just me and mum and my sisters too
I’m not to proud of the road I walk
Hurt to many people the way I live
It’s time for me to be a man
Yes it’s time for my little man
Yes It’s time for him to have a dad
It’s time to be there for my little man
It’s time for me to be a man
Yes it’s time for my little man
Yes It’s time for him to have a dad
It’s time to be there for my little man
Yea!!! One big happy family
Back the way it should have been
Just me and mum and my sisters too
