Where Were You

Daddy why did you do that to mommy? You said if we hit somebody we're suppose to say sorry But you never say sorry daddy you yell now Why did you tell that man that mommy just fell down Mommy didn't fall down daddy's lying Mommy why are you always sad and always crying? Daddy why are you always mad you always fighting? Why do you always say I'm bad even when I'm trying? No I don't want to go to my room I don't want to go to bed now I want to be with you I don't want to daddy it's to early I didn't mean it daddy I'm sorry I'm sorry I promise I'll never say that again I'm sorry daddy please don't hit me again Please I'll be a good boy now Don't put me in the room please don't turn the lights out (what did I do? I'm sorry daddy that's all I want to say to you) CHORUS Where?where were you? just when I needed you Daddy where were you Where?where were you?just when I needed you Mommy where were you (golden child) What up pops I ain't got to tell you my heart is as hard as a rock Things have changed since I was the age six Yet some situations stay the same Like the way I conceal my pain Growing up I'd swear my name was every profane thing a man could say I used to make excuses like you weren't the one that hit her It was just the liquor in ya My dad the perfect example of hatred and why am I so bitter? Ya told me real men don't cry that was a lie You don't realize what goes on inside of my mind As time passed my heart ran cold my emotions froze Lost track of the bruises and the broken bones Just once wanted to hear that you loved me Wrap your arms around me and hug me yeah right Remember the first time I couldnt feel the pain It was when grandma came and took me to church Where God relieved the hurt and he knows it took work But I forgave you he could save you but the question is Will you let him in it would be such a blessing To see you as a changed man and holdin my mother's hand CHORUS --- Where Were You - KJ-52 and Goldenchild
