Never Abandon Your Family

Two lessons that he passed along to his children

The first is that, no matter what, you never abandon your family

The second was that, no matter what, you love unconditionally

It is that kind of love that made my father the kind of father

And the kind of man he is

He vowed that he would never walk away from his family

And he never has

You know why my spirit′s calling

Darkness can't take light from me

Haven′t you gone far enough?

Sacrificed the ones you love

Gave up on your sanity

Like some twisted fantasy

What would I say to everything

Your actions cost everything

My, my, my family

My family, I'm losing my family

I'm losing my family

Losing my family

Cried out to you in my sleep, you thought it was a dream

"Why won′t you answer me? I′m in the room"

"Tell mom you're sorry", she′s screaming at me

"Daddy, how could you leave? Daddy, how could you leave?"

"Come back tonight, daddy, please, come back tonight, daddy, please"

"Daddy, how could you leave? Daddy, how could you leave?"

She don't know what this means, "How′d you become so mean?"

I wish I never screamed, alcohol when you breathe

These things, these things, these things, these things, they sting

"Daddy promise you'll stay, don′t you love me? Love me"
