If Daddy Was Wrong

If daddy was wrong, was it really his fault
He did the right thing, or that's what he thought
We are what we see, we do what is done
What was right yesterday, today may be wrong

He might not have shown it, but he loved in his way
He was there when you needed him
Through night and through day
Things weren't as easy as might have appeared
Each generation has its own tears
So stop for a minute before judgement is made
Of those gone before us and the prices they paid

If mummy was wrong, it don't mean you were right
Did you stand in her shoes, did you see with her sight?
She had her dreams just like you do
She traded them gladly to be close to you

She did what she thought was right at the time
She looked at reason while you looked at rhythm
You treated your future like it had no worth
It was all she could think of from the day of your birth
If you're right or your wrong, it don't matter anyway
Cause the hand that you're given is the one you must play

The choice is yours to look forward or back
To follow a path or fall through the cracks
We can look for life, or we can look for blame
We can choose forgiveness, or we can choose pain
