Father's Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Feels like I've been here before
All things don't seem the same no more
Although I know I'm my mother's child
I gotta break free into the wild
Some things just seem to take so long
I've been thinking 'bout what's gone wrong
I've been searching for miles and miles
Looking for someone to walk with me
Walk with me (walk, walk)
Walk with me (walk, walk)
Walk with me (walk, walk)
Walk with me (walk, walk)
All this doubt's been troublin' me
There's so much more that I can be
It feels like I'm on borrowed time
You got yours, I gotta take what's mine
Walk with me (walk, walk)
Walk with me (walk, walk)
Walk with me (walk, walk)
Walk with me (walk, walk)
Walk with me
Walk with me, I know who I wasn't supposed to be
Walk with me, show me the right direction
Walk with me, although I've been searching all my life for where I'm supposed be
I am my mother's child
Walk with me, show me pure affection
Walk with me, show me the right direction
I am my father's child, even though I walk
No more, no more
I am more than things you won't forgive
Walk with me
I am more than things you won't forgive
Walk with me
So walk with me
