I never thought I could write this word upon a page
When the mere memory of you filled me with rage
But somehow Daddy, I think I finally understand
What you couldn't tolerate was thrust into your hand
And now that I consider your very ill state of mind
A way out of your mess is all you ever longed to find
I was never more than an ugly inconvenience to you
Taking care of yourself is all you could possibly do
So I've chosen to forgive your inflicted living hell
The past long behind me and sins committed as well
You denied my existence as your life came to an end
I forgive you, I've reconciled, now it's a prayer I send
Praying that wherever you may spend your eternity
You'll not ever suffer torment as you tormented me
