His Shadows (Part Two)
Never to move, still, leaving a gaping hole Won't forget, things in life never had, that he stole So send thanks to him for all that he never did give Somehow he's painless, he continues to live Continues to be content with life and himself Never losing sight of the idols on his shelf All others blend, fade into the background He'll make it to Heaven, so safe, so sound No debts to be paid his debts are all clear Until the guards at the gate say, you've got no place here You shouldn't have treated your children so bad Here, here's a dictionary, look up the word dad Just then an angel said, this might sting Before sending him back with one flap of his wing He arrived, went through life, but never had kids But his life was the same when it flashed on his lids That's when he realized it seemed a little bit strange That he hadn't seen before what he'd needed to change Send me back, he pleaded, I can't wait to see Their faces when I'm the father they need me to be
