Please Don't Send Me Away

Tell me now what have you done

To justify your life, my son?

Did you help your brothers, when they were down?

And when the bullets flew, did you stick around?

I had no words, I never spoke

If I had said one thing, you wouldn't know

I did no harm, I hurt no-one,

Why you ask me now, my chance has gone?

Please don't send me away

I want to come in

If you give me today

I will try again

Child, I gave you all the breaks,

But all you did was take and take

You say you did no harm, but you did no good,

And never sought redemption

I think you should

I realise my selfish love

Has always got me through, by just enough

I never thought this day would come

When the demons of my soul would be undone

Please don't send me away

I want to come in

If you give me today

I will try again

Look up and see the angels

The gates have opened up for you

I hope your mind is peaceful

And love is everything you do
