I wish you could see me now I hope that I make you proud I wish you could see me now I hope I make you proud I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man I've struggled with these words for more than 13 years They've been spinning around my head but I could never get them out The things I've seen, the sounds I've heard, will haunt the rest of my days You always taught me life was so short Who would have known that you were talking about your own? Someone take away my pain I just want to see you again I wish you could see me now I hope I make you proud I had to grow up so fast I cannot forgive the past Death took my innocence when I was just a kid I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man What kind of world is this, to take a father from his sons when they were still so young? To take a lover, take a brother, leaving nothing but a memory I don't want to believe No god No justice Just pain And misery What a thing to teach You ask why I have no faith in this wretched place Someone take away my pain I just want to see you again You've missed so much I just wish I could show you what I have become I wish you could see me now I hope I make you proud I had to grow up so fast I cannot forgive the past Death took my innocence when I was just a kid I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man Your silence It deafened me Your presence is all I need Someone take away my pain I just want to see you again I wish you could see me now (Wish you could see me now) I hope that I make you proud (I hope I make you proud) Death took my innocence when I was just a kid I'm doing everything I can to make myself a better man
