From Underneath

From underneath

I wanted you to see the first thing

That I ever poured my heart into

You'll never know the pain that

I've been through

I'm not so sure you'll ever know and so

I'll makeYou understand that words that filled my life

We're not from you but from my fathers hand

Do you remember that cold day in

December?Leaving everything you knew behind

I may never know how it feels to stand beside you

Or take your hand when

I need some direction

And I may never know what it's like to see

You smile back at me or know you'd be proud of me

From underneath

I promise to erase the past

And let my heart forgive the former you

Replace the dark of old and start brand new

I never thought

I'd see the day,

I'd walk toward the end of life

And turn the other way,

I'm reaching out to take my fathers hand

Do you remember that cold day in

December?Leaving everything you knew behind

I may never know how it feels to stand beside you

Or take your hand when

I need some direction

And I may never know what it's like to see

You smile back at me or know you'd be proud of me
