The time has come to break the silence
To tell truth behind the rage
The years of living in denial
The time has come to turn the page

But it's hard to forgive
Even harder to forget

I am a son without a father
He gave his name and walked away
I am a man, now a father
And I swear my son, oh, will never know that pain

I was a child, I was abandoned
Too young to fight to have a say
Oh God what seemed so heavy handed
Made me the man I am today

It's so hard to forgive
Even harder to forget

I am a son without a father
He gave his name and walked away
I am a man, now a father
And I swear my son, oh, will never know that pain

I will, I will be the space between the shadows
I will, I will be the light inside the sorrow
I will, I will

I swear my son will never know that pain

'Cause I am a son without a father
He gave his name and walked away
I am a man, now a father
And I swear my son, oh, will never know that pain

He will never know that
Never know that, never know that pain
He will never know that pain
He will never know that
Never know that, never know that pain
He will never know that pain
