Daddy never cried, he just turned away   Never showed the side that was soft as clay   What a weak reply   You live inside a blanket of blame      Why would you need a gift of pardoning   Until your sin becomes your own?   Soon comes inevitable reckoning   Then you'll understand   Just how much true love can change a man      Daddy never cried, will not work today   Put your pride aside, we all need grace   Somewhere deep inside   What you love is what you need to hate      When will you stop blaming somebody else?   You make decisions on your own   You choose to leave the truth for nonsense   Do you understand   Just how much the truth can change a man?      Daddy never      Why would you need a gift of pardoning   Until your sin becomes your own?   Soon comes inevitable reckoning   Then you'll understand   Just how much true love can change a man      Daddy never cried   Put your pride aside
