Daddy never cried, he just turned away
Never showed the side that was soft as clay
What a weak reply
You live inside a blanket of blame
Why would you need a gift of pardoning
Until your sin becomes your own?
Soon comes inevitable reckoning
Then you'll understand
Just how much true love can change a man
Daddy never cried, will not work today
Put your pride aside, we all need grace
Somewhere deep inside
What you love is what you need to hate
When will you stop blaming somebody else?
You make decisions on your own
You choose to leave the truth for nonsense
Do you understand
Just how much the truth can change a man?
Daddy never
Why would you need a gift of pardoning
Until your sin becomes your own?
Soon comes inevitable reckoning
Then you'll understand
Just how much true love can change a man
Daddy never cried
Put your pride aside
