i'm a few months old
and daddy's hardly home
he's out keeping a roof
over my fragile little head
i'm four years old
and daddy and mommy
don't love each other any more
i'm six years old now
and daddy is my hero
he does everything for me
he can do no wrong
i'm nine years old now
and daddy won't answer my calls
he's a stranger now
is he mad at me?
because i chose to be with mommy?
i'm eleven years old now
and daddy doesn't understand me
and these days i don't understand him either
but still we try
i'm thirteen now
and daddy broke my heart
and i'm wondering where
my hero went
was he ever really there?
why would he lie?
i'm eighteen years old now
and daddy's excuses don't work anymore
i just want him to hear me
i'm twenty one now
and i think he's starting to get it
but we still have a long way to go
daddy and i have been through a lot
but he taught me two important things
he taught me the ways of men
he taught me to be cautious with them
but he also taught me
the meaning of unconditional love
loving someone even when they're wrong...
