Lyrics
The Inheritance
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.
Mouths to feed wont sleep till he arrives,
so he brings his work home.
Late nights waste away plotting a plan.
Tracing the steps he needs to take till he says,
"My job is done.
You're old enough,
it's time to leave this home and go on your own.
I know it's hard,
but it's not my problem anymore.
Not anymore"
Eyes closed children rest unaware,
so he keeps their lights dim.
Angels hold their tongues up above with a scowl shaking their fists when he says...
"We had our run,
now you're old enough to go run down your track,
so don 't look b ack.
I know it's hard but it's not my problem anymore.
Not anymore."
