Not meant to be a father on this day
I'm not a bad man, yet cruel
Fate has ripped my daughter away
Not much for praying but I'm on my knees
Pleading for answers to this senseless passing
Why would someone think the best time to die
Is before they have the chance to open their eyes?
Don't say another word to comfort me
I'm not okay and I don't need blind faith
The more I'm trying to let go
The more that it's killing me
Why am I burying my child when
I'm wishing it was me in that grave
I should not be burdened with this pain
It's not fair to us, I'm giving up
Oh I died inside when I knew she'll never see the sun rise
My daughter will never see the sun rise
Taken away before she had the chance to open her eyes
This is not God working in mysterious ways,
This is the work of a coward who's
Either dead or won't show his face
I let that cold wave cover me
What's the point in gasping for air
When I don't even want to breathe?
Time will not heal these wounds
I'll grow old and she'll still be fast asleep
What am I supposed to do now?
How am I expected to understand
When I'm still reaching for those little hands to let know
That this is just a bad dream and she'll be there when I wake up
She'll never see the sun rise, no she won't
I know that you're at peace but I won't look for you in the clouds
I'll keep you in my heart 'til the sun burns out
