daddy never cried

he just turned away

never showed the side

that was soft as clay

what a weak reply

you live inside a blanket of shame



why would you need a gift of pardoning

until your sin becomes your own

soon comes inevitable reckoning

then you'll understand

just how much true love can change a man



daddy never cried

will not work today

put your pride aside

we all need grace

somewhere deep inside

what you love is what you need to hate



when will you stop blaming somebody else

you make decisions on your own

you choose to leave the truth for nonsense

do you understand

just how much the truth can change a man
