The beauty of this world must let you in again Put diamonds in my hands to let you live again, again A father's heart's in pain I tried to let you go The lights around your halo have no fear again I've opened up the wounds to let you near again A heart's a dangerous place I've given everything to let you know They walk around me and dance around me I've given everything to let you know They fight around me and divide around me I've given everything to let you know Eli, my hands are tied These notes put out to help you find your feet again You were broken and abused but let you live again Your mother's heart remains I've given everything to let you know Come save me now And break me down And let me be proud of you I face another year I walk along this damaged only road But soon enough you'll know But how can I begin to tell my son that I walked away I'll find a way When I come back You'll hear me say again Eli, I'll always let you know Eli, I'll always let you know Eli, I'll always let you know Now my father's dead to me You left me here alone But you didn't see the rest of me How could I belong? But you could have said goodbye Did you ever think of me at all? Now my father's dead to me You left me here alone But you could have said goodbye Did you ever think of me at all? I hope someday that you will see it all My hands were tied There will be love for you, dad
