Parenthood

I'm not supposed to get angry
You're not supposed to get mad
I'm not supposed to keep saying
You're just like your dad.

I'm not supposed to be waiting
Watching the hands on the clock
I'm not supposed to stay up 'til
The key turns in the lock

What am I supposed to do
I would do nothing without you
And how am I supposed to know
I've never been this way before
Oh no...

I'm not supposed to be sitting
Here, at the foot of your bed
Watching you while you are sleeping
And measuring each steady breath

And I'm not supposed to be wakened
Here in the deep of the night
Praying that you'll find your way
Through the trials of life
