Description
Where were you?
All these years
I've been waiting
Desparation setting in
You weren't there to see

Where were you?
Off on another trip
Sharing your bed in such
Sacreligious sanctimony
Just living another lie

where were you?
All those times I cried
For your attention
It was only discipline
That I longed for

Where were you?
I needed a father
Not a friend
I needed to be humbled
Rather than taught conceit

And where were you, dear father?
When you had the chance
To redeem your tarnished name
To earn retribution
You had the nerve to say

“Where were you, son?”
The truth is, Dad
I was always there
Reaching out and waiting
For you to grab hold

So, where were you?
