Your Light No Longer Shines

Part 1: The Father
I held you in my hands
On the morning you were born
I close my eyes and reach out
You’re still there loving and warm
I know that you have struggled
I wish that I could understand
You don't think that I can help you
But I can

I can’t believe it when they say
"Your light no longer shines"
There’s a part of you that will always be mine

Part 2: The Son
I don't care you mean well
I can't say I care at all
Once I thought that you stood by me
Proud and straight and tall
But as I grew older
I think I finally understood
Your intentions did not end up
Like they should

Leave me alone I don't care
Your light no longer shines
I'll live my life my way, I'll be fine

Part 3: The Mother
We love you as yourself
I wish that you could hear his words
The way that he means them
Before they come out blurred

I hope you never hear them say
"Your light no longer shines"
Whether we are there or not
You live on your own time
We know that you will live your life
However that you choose
If one day you want to ask us
We will listen to you
