| Outside Looking In |
| All her life she had never known Who her father was The children mocked her for this fact She let them just because She never knew how anyone Could do that to a child How he had left her all alone The thoughts just drove her wild But then there were those certain days When nothing really bothered her She'd sit there on the Orphange steps "He'll come back one day, I'm sure Her life was filled with comes and goes As the 12 long years rolled by She knew that no one wanted her And often times she'd cry Then one day they got a call It was her they wanted to see The man would come at 3 o'clock She did not know who it could be And then she saw his face No one could have prepared this for her Those few words he then said "Please, come home with me my daughter" He would take her back home To his apartment in New Orleans The 60 hour drive Seemed to have time flying And as they drove around the bend Her home came into view She takes one last look at her dad Before traffic takes him to his doom She looks up at the clouded sky As her head pounds with pain She turns to see her father's eyes Staring at her through the pouring rain The pain subsides a little more As the ambulance takes her away She knows she'll never see him again And she regrets it to this very day But then there were those certain days When nothing really bothered her She'd sit there on the Orphanage steps "He'll come back one day, I'm sure" How do you deal with your father's death? These questions would always begin Her every answer-"He's not dead" "He's outside looking in" |
