Not meant to be a father on this day I'm not a bad man, yet cruel fate Has ripped my daughter away Not much for praying but I'm on my knees Pleading for answers to this senseless passing Why would someone think the best time to die Is before they have the chance to open their eyes? Don't say another word to comfort me I'm not okay and I don't need blind faith The more I'm trying to let go The more that it's killing me Why am I burying my child when I'm wishing it was me in that grave? I should not be burdened with this pain It's not fair to us, I'm giving up Oh I died inside when I knew She'll never see the sun rise My daughter will never see the sun rise Taken away before she had the chance to open her eyes This is not God working in mysterious ways This is the work of a coward Who's either dead or won't show his face I let that cold wave cover me What's the point in gasping for air When I don't even want to breathe? Time will not heal these wounds I'll grow old and she'll still be fast asleep What am I supposed to do now? How am I expected to understand when I'm still Reaching for those little hands to let know That this is just a bad dream and she'll be there when I wake up She'll never see the sun rise, no she won't I know that you're at peace But I won't look for you in the clouds I'll keep you in my heart till the sun burns out
