In life dreams haunt the mind
Fortunes said I'd never find
Happiness, why can't for once it stay
Instead of always drifting far away
My child conceived of warmth so deep
Precious memories, few I have, I keep
Thought together we would always be
I guess that time will heal the wounds in me
Given the chance so I try
Always have to ask the question why
Taunted the rage that burns inside
Built love on no respect and lies
Stop now I'll be used no more
Voices cloud my thoughts there is no cure
Selfish greed I have to say
It's time to see my child today
To see my child today
Why take her away ?

My child , Do you know me ?
My child , Taken from me
My child , Everyday I scream
My child , Taken from me again

In life dreams haunt the mind
Fortunes said I'd never find
Happiness, why can't for once it stay
Instead of always drifting far away
My child conceived of warmth so deep
Precious memories, few I have, I keep
Thought together we would always be
I guess that time will heal the wounds in me
Taught to always hide the pain
Torn apart I'm left to go insane
Feelings rush , confuse my mind
Forever in the end I'm left behind
Everynight I come home , it rains
Heather's face stares from the window pane
Screaming out in vain at the sky
Can't take anymore goodbyes

My child , Do you know me ?
My child , Taken from me
My child , Everyday I scream
My child , Taken from me again
My child , Do you know me ?
My child , Taken from me
My child , Everyday I scream
My child , Taken from me again
Again ..... Again .....
