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
