Goodbye

Holding onto my daughter's hand, I saw my wife cry,
I couldn't touch them, none can say I didn't try.
Thinking about what we've been through, how we got over our fears,
I wanted to cry, but how exactly? I have got no tears.
As I turned, I saw a beautiful picture of me,
A candle lit in front of it, I fell to my knee.


I saw some people, i knew and didn't know, sigh
Whispering under their breath, "he wasn't such a bad guy"
My entire life was not how I wanted it to be,
And I want to know if anyone's gonna miss me?
I didn't do much or maybe my family expected more,
I can't do anything about it now, I have reached the shore.


I'll start my life again as a baby,
I'll be heard crying in the arms of someone, maybe.
But this time, I'll grow up to be a better, righteous man
Spreading love and being happy, that's my plan.
I won't hate anyone or anything, that's for sure
In my previous life I was diseased, yes I was insecure.


But today, Here I stand before you, with head held high,
looking everyone dead in the eye
and bidding goodbye
for i have spent my time, paid for my sin,
So, for the last time, you all see me grin...
