You may be a teenager,
But your still just a kid,
Ignorant to the world,
For all, to you, that it has hid
I never tried to open your eyes
For I figured we had time,
I left your heart still innocent,
And protectively shielded your mind
All that has been shielded
From you by the cover of my veil,That has now been set on fire,As everything has gone to hell
Red hot embers have now been burnt to ash,
Only soot remains of memories past,
Out into a world, for which your just not ready,And surely won't be able to last
Curiousity seems to me to have been,
The hand that's griped Pandora's box,Temptation accompanying,Opportunity,Each time whenever for you it knocks
Haunted by lifes evil ways,
And swallowed by worldly sins,My child why are you acting out?Is it because of your friends?
What has happened?
Was it something that I have done?Why are you constantly lying to me?Why do you always get up and run?
This cat and mouse game you play,
Has taken it's toll on me, surely it isn't any fun,My hearts been burdened with the thought,That the devil may likely have won
You often seem lost to me
Though I usually know where you areYou could be only feet away from meBut yet it seems to feel like so far
These things that your doing now,
By whom and when were they to you taught and shown?Why won't you listen to a word that I say?Your acting like you think your full grown
I prayer to god is that he guide you,
That he helps steer your heart, and put you back on the right track,But I'm still left wonder if it'll honestly happen, And I fear that I may never truly get the old you back!
I'm as powerless as ever a parent could ever be,There's nothing that I can do,Because no matter how bad I'd like you to change,The decision has to come from you
It's your story to tell,
Your the only one who can write it,But that doesn't change the way my heart aches,My tears fall, I just can't fight it
One thing i must tell you,
This i need you to hear,When your feel you wnna go home, weather it be a week a month or a year,You don't need to say a thing, because your home will always be right here
For us it can never be to late,
You'll never run out of time,My arms are forever open to you,Know I Love you!, and you'll always be mine!
