Let Me In
As I stand here in the dark, in this hall of trash and grime,
I think of all that brought me here, it's taken so much time.
The journey was so long; my path was lined with tears.
There were so many battles fought, all throughout the years.
I never met my father, never glimpsed his face.
I yearn for my mother, for her warm embrace.
I come back now, mother, I've returned without fail.
I fought my way back, I fought tooth and nail.
I reach out for you now, but you've closed yourself up tight.
You've pulled your arms away from me; you've left me in the
night.
All these tears I've cried, all that I've been through,
All the steps and lives I took, I did it all for you.
Though I cry and pound with all my might, I can't reach your
comforting walls,
And even though I try to fight it, I can't stop the tear
that falls.
Everything I've ever done has led me to this day,
And when the moment finally came, you chose to turn away.
