Daddy Neglected Me and Went To a Place I Knoweth Not
Desolate moments,full of dark days.
Those moments, I can't face.
I cry with haste.
O Daddy, why have you forsaken thee?
Why have you thrown my sweet moments far away from me?
O Daddy, why?
I can't see beyond this dolefullness.
What have I done?
You took away my happiness.
O Daddy!!
I wish to be like other kids with dad;but at this moment,
No Dad to lean on,
No Dad to sing my song.
My strength depreciates;I am not strong
Now I sing excruciating songs .
It's now full of pain and agony.
Why did you leave me,Dad?
Is it because I have been a fool?
Is it because I have not been cool?
Is it because I don't behave good?
O Daddy, my heart has been set ablaze.
The flame is extravagant;I can't take anymore.
Everyday I cry.
I now live a crazy life.
O Dad,why?
You have made me sad.
Sad beyond what mere mortal can bear.
The more I hide my feelings; the more I tear.
My tears cover me like a mother bleeding tears for her child.
I don't know what to do.
These moments can't see me through.
My weather is now stormy;full of thunderstorms and lightning.
My tears is fill with blood;that reds like a ripe tomato.
Dad left me with cold and desolate load.
O Dad!!!
No one to call my own.
You left me alone in my room.
I have been lured into great travail
