Daddy never cried
He just turned away
Never showed the side
That was soft as clay
What a weak reply
You live inside a blanket of shame
Why would you need a gift of pardoning
Until your sin becomes your own
Soon comes inevitable reckoning
Then you'll understand
Just how much true love can change a man
Daddy never cried
Will not work today
Put your pride aside
We all need grace
Somewhere deep inside
What you love is what you need to hate
When will you stop blaming somebody else
You make decisions on your own
You choose to leave the truth for nonsense
Do you understand
Just how much the truth can change a man
