Father will you still take me into your arms when I’m spent and broken,
Father will you still take me into your arms when I’m bleeding,
Father will you still take me into your arms when I’m covered in these scars,
Does it disgust you that I’m killing your child?
Does it disgust you that I’m murdering your creation?
Will you forgive every scar and cut?
Will you hold me and tell me its okay,
Or will you send me away and tell me never to return,
Will you just walk away and leave me standing,
Will you love me or will you hate me,
Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust,
When I die will you let me go home?
Or will I have to stand at the gates,
and watch through the bars as Saint Peter tells me to move on,
down the stairs,
I don't want to end there,
I want to be with you,
where love is real,
where there is no pain,
father,father,father!
