Fatherless

Here's to my desire to remember what he left. 
  But, there was no time for sentiment as he took his final breath. 
  I was not too broken to hope for a helping hand, but I had to fight to find it. 
  Eight years old is too young to become a man;  I left my hope behind me. 
  I was just another angry kid, growing up without a dad. 
  So I sold my soul for the highest bid, to get the love I never had. 

  Tell me who I am. 
  A kid that turned to the world for identity. 
  I can hardly stand. 
  Trying to find myself, I confined myself. 
  Now I've come to see, it was never "me" I was looking for… 
  It was always Him, it was always Him. 

  Born from a broken home. 
  When my father died, I was left to find my way through life alone. 
  Left on my own, I put my pain on display as I fought with hatred and rage. 
  No son should ever have to face the world without the love of his father. 
  I faced the world alone. 
  I had no one to run to, and everything to run from. 
  I had no one to run to, and everything to run from. 
  I buried my hope in the ground. 
  Drowning, with no one to pull me out, sinking inside my head. 

  I was just another angry kid growing up without a dad, 
  So I sold my soul for the highest bid to get the love I never had. 

  Tell me who I am. 
  A kid that turned to the world for identity. 
  I can hardly stand. 
  Trying to find myself, I confined myself. 
  Now I've come to see, it was never "me" I was looking for… 
  It was always Him, it was always Him. 

  Tell me who I am. 
  I can hardly stand. 
  Now I've come to see, it was never "me" I was looking for… 
  It was always Him, it was always Him.
