Father of Pride
ToonFanatic
I gave the world a gift of choice
But now I fear I've lost my voice
I see my daughter's pleading eyes
And all I've built feels like a lie
She carries hope I've long denied
A fragile light I tried to hide
Father of pride
But broken inside
I can't show her
The pain I confide
If she could see through the mask I wear
Would she still believe I care?
Would you still believe I care?
I crown myself with endless sins
Believing freedom lived within
But all the souls I left behind
Are shadows carved upon my mind
Her voice is calling me to stay
But I just turn and walk on away
Oh but charlie you deserve the skies
But I'm bound by the weight of life
If love could save I'd give it all
But I still fear I'll let you fall
Father of pride
But broken inside
I still protect her
The world's divide
If she could know
If she could see
The love that burns inside of me
