Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dead man, were you ever alive?
Or was I just a seed, buried deep inside
Some woman you wed
Right before you crawled out of her bed and
[Verse 2]
Crept down the hall?
Did you think of me?
Did you, even for a second, hesitate
In the doorway?
[Verse 3]
It's just something that I'd like to know
Though I'd still love you if you told me
That you just walked away
[Verse 4]
My God
What a world you love
Men bury their sons
And without thought
They just walk away
[Verse 5]
And my mother's heart
Breaks like the water inside of her
And my mother's heart
Breaks like the water inside of her
[Verse 6]
Dead man, is it bein' high that
Makes you alive?
It makes you leave behind
Three boys and a wife in '89
[Verse 7]
And as the track marks inch their way up your arm, my
Mother taught my brothers and I
Not to call you Daddy
But to call you Father
[Verse 8]
But I believe there is something here to be learned of grace
'Cause I can't help but love you
No, I can't help but love you even with
A heart that breaks
[Verse 9]
Like the promises that you made
Like the promises that you made
The promises that you made
'Cause I can't help but love you
[Verse 10]
My God, what a world you love
