Oh, my child, I know
You're hurt and you can't let go
It's not your fault and you don't deserve
All the bad and the hurt

I know you've tried so hard
I know you've done your part
It's not fair
You did your time
How much longer will you suffer in this life
But don't give up
Just hold on tight
It'll be alright

All your life you've tried
To be a good man inside
Did everything that you thought you should
Didn't seem to do you any good

I know you've tried so hard
I know you've done your part
It's not fair
You did your time
How much longer will you suffer in this life
But don't give up
Just hold on tight
It'll be alright

I know you've tried so hard
I know you've done your part
It's not fair
You did your time
How much longer will you suffer in this life
But don't give up
Just hold on tight
It'll be alright
