Last night was the second time that I picked you up from jail.
I am just thankful it wasn't a nail
to drive into a premature coffin.
Sometimes you drive me mad with worry.
My flesh and blood that I feel so much love yet you invoke mothers gentle fury.
How many times I have broke down and cried
for you, but you dont get to see that softer side.
I am holding it together so you can learn
that there is something more beyond the emptiness of your hearts burn.
No matter what I hide you gotta keep faith alive
remember these words when lifes been a burn

If life deceives you release your grief,
dont be sad , dont be angry
Your time for joy will come, believe me...

I just want to hold you and tell you everything is going to be alright,
Take a deep breath becuase it's gonna take more than this one night.
I know living this life is a tough thing to do
You just have to hold on to the good even when it's far and few.
You got to keep hope alive.
Keep it in your heart and let the light be your drive.
I know this world can be scary
and people can make you weary
Please do't forget these words I am going to say
again and again until my last day

If life deceives you release your grief,
dont be sad , dont be angry
Your time for joy will come, believe me.

I see you filling these voids with regretful actions.
If you could feel my love even in the smallest fraction.
My son you would be flying above all this pain.
Sometimes you look to me with hate, resentment, foul words and disdain.
They say that people take it out on the ones who hurt them least.
Sometimes it takes days for your pain to be released.
By then my heart is tattered and thin.
I have to remember it's not about who wins.
so ..let it echoe again and again

If life deceives you release your grief,
dont be sad , dont be angry
Your time for joy will come, believe me.

Son don't cry I remember why I brought you into this world to begin.
I love you, I love you, so don't pretend
that I am not going to try to stand by your side until the end.

Just always keep this thought with you


If life deceives you release your grief,
don't be sad , don't be angry.
Your time for joy will come, your time of joy will come .....believe me.
