My Child lyrics

Tore it up again, I couldn’t stop again

Let it go till there was nothing in the way

Fought the feeling then, I gave in again

Sweet surrender to the angel I denied

When you came to life I was terrified

I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same

Doubt came over me; what kind of father would I be?

I knew the time had come to stand up and be a man

To change the face of my life

With your future in mind

Time to do what is right

A new beginning

The world around me died

When I saw that heartbeat

I knew it wasn’t a sin

Can someone tell me why

This has happened to me?

Why was it only in death

Were you redeemed, my child?

No serenity within agony

Every day brings on

A hundred ways to fight

Constant scrutiny

I can feel you judging me

Resurrecting every demon that’s inside

Her face was horrified

You struggled still alive

My one desire was to trade my soul for yours

Grief crippled me, the reaper cheated me

Left me yearning for the path I'd come to adore

To change the face of my life

With your future in mind

Time to do what is right

A new beginning

The world around me died

When I saw that heartbeat

I knew it wasn’t a sin

Can someone tell me why

This has happened to me?

Why was it only in death

Were you redeemed, my child?

My child

The world around me died

When I saw that heartbeat

I knew it wasn’t a sin

Can someone tell me why

This has happened to me?

Why was it only in death

Were you redeemed, my child?

I pray you were redeemed, my child
