Chasing Monsters
I chased monsters
Trying to find answers
Why some are vile
But hide it with a smile
I brought them to our lives
With their guns and knives
I studied them by night
Then left at first light
Strange cities I explored
Leaving you alone and ignored
So you left and escaped
Your life you reshaped
Now these choices have me caught
Destroying the thing for which I fought
You paid the price of the final kind
Leaving your son and me behind
I'll teach him love, laughter and joy
So deep and true no monster will destroy
