Cradle To The Grave

Sometimes I don't understandWhy I was born at allWhen all that I do leaves me emptyAching and longing for moreSometimes I feel I could standMan, I feel like I'm ten feet tallBut then it's like I'm on trial and I'm guiltyI don't know exactly what forHow I wishI could be relievedFall on God's doorstepAnd be receivedBut it seems he doesn'tCare for me anymoreSo I'll be on my wayLive from the cradle to the graveOn my ownSon you must understandWhy I would let you fallIt isn't because I don't love youIt's not that I want you to crawlBut the silence between us has grownAnd your towers have grown so tall"I let you choose; you have chosen"You don't seem to want me at allHow I wishTo be reconciledThat you would just love meWith the heart of a childBut it seems you neverWant me around anymoreSo you can have your wayLive from the cradle to the graveFar from homeHow I wish (Child how I love you)I could be relieved (but you're so far away)Fall on God's doorstep (Won't you come home to me?)And be received (I will give you my robe)But it seems he doesn't (Clothe you in linen)Care for me anymore (Son I want you to stay)So I'll be on my way (I'll set you free)Live from the cradle to the grave (How I long to be home)How I wish (I've been alone)To be reconciled (so very long)That you would just love me (with a heart made of stone)With the heart of a child (Can you dry all the tears)But it seems you never (I've held in my heart?)Want me around anymoreSo you can have your way (I'll be on my way)Live from the cradle to the graveFar from home
