The Cries of a Broken Heart
My eyes and ears are tired
of seeing and hearing
I can see that momma is sad,
I can hear her cries through the night.
But why papa? Where are you?
I'm tired of always making up stories
in my mind of who you are.
I don't know if you are red, green or yellow.
But why papa? I love you, I miss you
even if I have never seen you.
Can you imagine how difficult it is for me?
They call me a bastard, insult me and tell me
that I am a bad omen, an outcast.
That I don't have a father
Papa where are you at? Come and
rescue me from this suffering.
Please tell me papa
Where are you? I miss you,
I need you more than ever papa
Where are you?
