I wake to better days, a haze of faith is placed at bay
TODAY's the day, 9 months and now I take my place. . .
As a father amazed, im graced with life I give my praise
And raise a drink to harbor the happiness embraced
Grabbing my waist the butter-flies are swarming. .
Warming a cold heart to start this wonderful morning
Soaring through clouds, im gonna be a dad, screamed it loud
As I drive to meet my wife, and see her smile so proud
Allowed time to calm down, approached the waiting room
No gloom can ruin this day. . . my son, ill see you soon
And to hold you in my arms is a prayer finally answered
You give me motivation to live in a world eaten with cancer
Used to be faithless, but now i know that theres a god
As if hes looking down on me and i see the angels nod
Hello Mr. Avery, Im Dr. Skelton. . . can you sit with me?
Just then, the lights dimmed on the world i crept within
"Im sorry but there was complications", hell im steppin in
2 minutes ago I was a step from heavens door. .
Now scorned, i leapt to the furnace of Satan's floors
"Sir you need to calm down", tears puddle my soul drowns
Explanations from this man mutes out I fall down. . .
In one moment promised of a miraculous event
I was robbed of my first born, and my wife that destiny sent
Content to just die, nobody can answer why
And to this day I cry at the memories passing by
Plastered nights, crashing skies, with them i also died
And lost my sight along this constant fight with life. . .
And to never hold you in my arms is my deepest regret
If God speaks to people he hasn't greeted me yet
Used to be doubtful, but now i've plainly given up
Everything I had was taken, my souls an empty cup
Everything I ever loved is gone. . my souls an empty cup
