Awoke before dawn, oh what a dream
Apocalypse now, or so it did seem…
Dreaming about my estranged daughter
My family had me trapped like a lamb to the slaughter
Secretly awaiting the emergency service
Knowing of this secret, I was feeling nervous
I woke myself up, shrieking out loud
Alone in my bed, no one around
Fell back asleep to dream some more
Another nightmare with an apocalyptic score
So glad to wake up, although drenched in sweat
To seize the day, on that you can bet
Today my young lady turns seventeen
So often thought of but seldom seen
Only present in my dreams
A relationship torn apart at the seams
Reaping what I’ve sown, through our struggles we grow
One day we’ll be together, that I know!
