they gave you life

they gave you life
i was only 4
when they gave you life
i didn't understand why
why they gave you life
to young to understand
what daddy was doing
why were they taking daddy
i cried and screamed no
daddy no don't go don't leave
they they put you in the back
seat with those bars on the windows
that was the last time i saw you
i was put in foster care
liveing with only strangers
knowing not who they were
not understanding any of that
why did daddy leave i asked
wheres daddy
where did they take him
to young to understand
what was going on
and why daddy hade to leave
now its 14 years latter and you getting out
not knowing how things are going to be
will i see you
how will it filly will i be happy
are will i still be confused as if i was a child a agin
would i understand it now

will i cry will i be happy
what will i do
daddy is getting out
