Sometimes I don't understandWhy I was born at allWhen all
that I do leaves me emptyAching and longing for moreSometimes I
feel I could standMan, I feel like I'm ten feet tallBut
then it's like I'm on trial and I'm guiltyI
don't know exactly what forHow I wish I could be
relievedFall on God's doorstepAnd be receivedBut it seems
he doesn'tCare for me anymoreSo I'll be on my wayLive
from the cradle to the graveOn my ownSon you must understandWhy
I would let you fallIt isn't because I don't love
youIt's not that I want you to crawlBut the silence between
us has grownAnd your towers have grown so tall"I let you choose;
you have chosen"You don't seem to want me at allHow I
wishTo be reconciledThat you would just love meWith the heart of
a childBut it seems you neverWant me around anymoreSo you can
have your wayLive from the cradle to the graveFar from homeHow I
wish (Child how I love you)I could be relieved (but you're
so far away)Fall on God's doorstep (Won't you come
home to me?)And be received (I will give you my robe)But it
seems he doesn't (Clothe you in linen)Care for me anymore
(Son I want you to stay)So I'll be on my way (I'll set
you free)Live from the cradle to the grave (How I long to be
home)How I wish (I've been alone)To be reconciled (so very
long)That you would just love me (with a heart made of
stone)With the heart of a child (Can you dry all the tears)But
it seems you never (I've held in my heart?)Want me around
anymoreSo you can have your way (I'll be on my way)Live
from the cradle to the graveFar from home
