The Ghost of Jacob Marley

From the minute I saw your faces
I knew this world became a different place for me
It was no longer mine
Had to think of what I'd leave behind
That moment was a brand new start
A different kind of love filled my heart
Would I be the man I thought that I could be
The future seemed more important to me.
I knew the worst thing I could do
Was ever turn my back on you
It was decided then that you would be my world

So I had to work a little bit harder
Had to be just a little bit smarter
Made the goal to leave behind
Something better than what I find
Tried to make this place a little bit brighter
Little pieces from deep inside me
Sometimes it hard to be the light
To stand your ground when it's fight or flight

I know it's hard, but just remember
You'll struggle, you'll fall down
You get back up every round
Cause In the end that's all that matters
Deep down
Inside
Gotta do what you feel is right

So if that means work a little bit harder
So you can be a little bit smarter
Go ahead make the world a bit brighter
Use the light that I know's deep inside you

And even if you lead the lambs to the slaughter
Or the ones who stand in front to be the fodder
Don't always do things just to please your father
I was always be proud to call you both my daughters
I'll always be there right or wrong beside you
Till the air can no longer find me
Before I go I'll lay my torch beside you
Don't let decisions from the past define you
And you can take it make a funeral pyre
Or you can take it set the world on fire
