| Katie stands at the top of the stairs
|
| As she’s leaving her father stares
|
| What has she come to
|
| Another boy she runs to tonight
|
| Powerless he just shakes his head
|
| Disapointed and off to bed
|
| He won’t be sleeping
|
| Cause the hours she’s keeping
|
| Are not right
|
| She’s asking a question
|
| How will I be
|
| After this next on eventually leaves me
|
| And how can a man
|
| Be all that they say
|
| When all that i know
|
| Is men run away
|
| I think I lose just a little bit of me
|
| In every man that I see
|
| Danny’s been out for seven days
|
| Funny how he thought the price had been paid
|
| On a past he hates to talk about
|
| It’s everything wrong about him
|
| He goes back home to a battle field
|
| Starts to drink as some kind of a shield
|
| For the anger instilled in him
|
| Their looks are killing him now
|
| He’s asking a question
|
| How will I be
|
| When it comes down to the end
|
| And memories still haunt me
|
| How can he have forgiveness that flows
|
| When no one forgives him
|
| Yet it’s Jesus they know
|
| I think I lose just a little bit of me
|
| In this family that won’t see
|
| A crowed of confusion gathers round
|
| Watching the light as he slowly goes out
|
| After all they’ve talked about
|
| Everything’s coming out now
|
| The anger turns to dead and gone
|
| Heart’s start to feel what feels so wrong
|
| And as the time starts passing by
|
| Hours turn to days in their heads
|
| And they can still hear him say
|
| I came for your questions
|
| Of what you don’t know
|
| But you can’t see the answers
|
| Unless I go
|
| So give me your hatred
|
| And give me your diseased
|
| Give me your tired
|
| And I’ll take them with me
|
| Cause I’m hanging here
|
| Losing every part of me
|
| Just to open your eyes
|
| To what you will never see
|
| And to answer you questions
|
| Cause there’s no place I’d rather be |
