Well, the key to my survival
Was never in much doubt
The question was how I could keep sane
Trying to find the way out
Things were never easy for me
Peace of mind was hard to find
And I needed a place where I could hide
Somewhere I could call mine
I didn`t think much about it
Till it started happening all the time
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Of what might happen at night
I couldn`t stand to hear the
Crying of my mother
And I remember when
I swore that, that would be the
Last they`d see of me
And I never went home again
They say time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he`d say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said:
You`re no son, you`re no son of mine
You`re no son, you`re no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you`re no son, you`re no son of mine
Oh his words how they hurt me
I`ll never forget it
And as the time, it went by
I lived to regret it
You`re no son, you`re no son of mine
But where should I go
Please tell me what should I do
You`re no son, you`re no son of mine
But I came here for help
Oh I was looking for you
Well the years they passed so slowly
I thought about him everyday
What would I do, if we passed on the street
Would I keep running away
In and out of hiding places
Soon I`d have to face the facts
We`d have to sit down and talk it over
And that would mean going back
They say time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he`d say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straight in the eyes
He said:
You`re no son, you`re no son of mine
You`re no son, you`re no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you`re no son, you`re no son of mine
Oh his words how they hurt me
I`ll never forget it
And as the time, it went by
I lived to regret it
You`re no son, you`re no son of mine
But where should I go
Please tell me what should I do
You`re no son, you`re no son of mine
But I came here for help
Oh I was looking for you
