The Father:
so here we are, in that same ol' place again.
what i would give not to return here, what i have given
to make it so
I watch on, tears form, it hurts me so
I know that you try so, but still i cry some more
How can I forgive, how can i forgive you?
for all the things you have done?
What will it take for me to let go
what will it take for the price to be paid?
The Child:
Pacing the same five movements around the track
I feel so overwhelmed by it all
and yet, nothing i do seems to get through
and it all goes to waste
I can't seem to do anything, i can't seem to be like you
how will you forgive? how can you forgive?
For all the things that I've done, I did them to you
and the least thing i expect, is to be forgiven by you
The Father:
My heart it is torn from me, which way should i go
maybe i should end this, that would seem so easy
maybe i should walk away
Maybe the very thing that is needed, is the very thing least wanted
the very thing, i am stopped at saying
Forgive you? I can't start to fathom
I'm blinded by all the wrongs you've done me
all the things i've lost count
and now you ask me to forgive?
the Child:
Somehow i must make these words meaningful
instead, i waste them and watch them fall off the page
and instead of saying how sorry, they say
oops, i did it again
nothing can rectify that,
maybe if i gave blood,
Please, won't you please forgive me?
forgive me, me the lost, me the hungary
me the thief, me the murderer
me the cheater, me the human
the father:
and so here we are, back at point one
How I love you so, how it blinds me
i can't help but be ignorant to the fact that you tripped
and I can't help but smile that you asked of me
it gives me such joy that a child of mine
knows where to run, not trying to hide
Forgive you? I already did
i forgave that time when you thought you were alone
I forgave that time that you weren't
I forgave you for everything you did
My child i forgive
