Truth

"You are an orphan", they told me
I thought I always would be
"You are an orphan", they told me
One day you made me see
It was all a lie
Not both my parents did die

I was an orphan
I was alone
And it's because of you
You know it's true

You knew where I was, you knew my name
You could have come, yet you never came
No excuse is sufficient, it's easy to blame
Had you been there, would I be the same?

I grew up while you ran
Grew up into a cold man
It's because of you
You know it's true

...

She asks me to forgive, she asks me to forget
Anyone else I'd shun, but her I will let
Talk to me, open me, look into my soul
Could you ever do that? - Make me whole?

Father, I doubt it

Angel of mine
Angel so fine
Would I have known you if it wasn't for him?
Would I be a lion of pride and might
A seed in a garden, training to fight
If I had been the President's son
When we battled, would we have won?
Would I have known you? - The chances are slim

Angel, darling
I have changed
And it's because of you
You know it's true

Father,
I'll forgive you if I may
I am the one I am today
And when you ask why, I will say

"It's because of you"
And I know it's true
