i remember 2006 - a voice in the sky - a father's lament lyrics

[part one]

i never thought
i would fly through this life
you had so many hopes
so many visions of what i would be
i had aspirations
i was hoping to achieve
i was so naïve
that i could have never seen
that someone wanted to take me

and you waited
day by day by day
praying for an answer
that i would be found safe
and i waited
day by day by day
wishing for a change
that i would be set free

but it didn’t come
it didn’t come
no, it didn’t come

and more would end up
where i was brought
and one by one
we would go
eventually, it ends
and i guess, he thought
it was my time
and drag me up the stairs
i tried to fight back
thrashеd around and squirmed
but i knew i could fight back
put me in a mold
pour somеthing over me
and everything went black

and you waited
day by day by day
praying for an answer
that i would be found safe
and i waited
day by day by day
wishing for a change
that i would be set free

but it didn’t come
it didn’t come
no, it didn’t come

then it all went numb
all the pain went away
and i floated through the sky
and the thought that floated in my mind
was that i wished i could’ve said goodbye
i know you needed me
more now than ever before
and i wish i could tell you
that i’m sorry
i’m now a watcher in the clouds
i saw the days go by
and then these cars pull up
on micah’s driveway
i saw those armored men
break into the house
i saw micah run away
i saw the others escape
i wish i could tell the others
that everything was going to be alright
i saw as they escorted to others out
they were all shaking
covered in blankets
as those armored men tried to comfort them
and as they called for back

and you waited
day by day by day
praying for an answer
that i would be found safe
and i waited
day by day by day
wishing for a change
that i would be set free

i see you now
your shaking frame
as you cried in the living room
your hope dying on your face
as the news on the tv
showed the rescued kids
their faces pale
traumatized and shivering
and all you could mutter was
“why not me?
what about me?
why not my child?”
and i wish i could tell you
that i’m sorry
i saw francis hunt down micah
tracking him to a factory
i wish he would’ve done something so dangerous
but then not long after
only francis walked out
i can’t blame him for avenging us
he was held the longest
he was the oldest of us
he was the one that saw
most of us

if i could talk to you again
i would tell you
that everything will be alright
that man can’t hurt anyone again
but i know that won’t be enough
it won’t bring me back to you

i just want you to know
that i’m no longer in pain
(“why not me?”)
i just want you to know
that i’m finally free
(“what about me?”)
i just want you to know
that i’ll be alright
(“why not my child?”)

what about me?
what about me?
what about me?
what about me?

what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!
what about me?!

what about me?
what about me?
what about me…?

[part two]

i’m sorry, brandi
i should’ve been more careful
i should’ve been there for you
i should’ve been stronger
i don’t know what to do
you didn’t deserve this
those kids didn’t deserve this
i wish you were home
i would’ve taken your spot
in a heartbeat, my dear
you deserve to be here

why not me?
why not me?
what about me?
why not me?
why not me?
what about me?
why not me?
why not me?
what about me?
why not me?
why not me?
what about me?

why not me?!
why not me?!
what about me?!
why not me?!
why not me?!
what about me?!
why not me?!
why not me?!
what about me?!
why not me?!
why not me?!
what about me?!

why not me?
why not me?
why not me…?
