[Verse 1]

From that night when you came

Pacing back and forth in the rain

Couldn't maintain

A young man trying to make a way

But was forced to stay away

When you touched Earth

On that special night of your birth

Please, accept my apology Desiree

I was in boot camp baby, US Navy

Yeah I sold out for a minute

Cause life I just couldn't win it

And I ask my lieutenant

Please, let me witness my first

Don't let me miss part of being

Co-creator of heaven's work

All about you

Don't worry Desi, I got you

Never, forgot about you

Always in my thoughts, always in my prayers

Sometimes life just ain't fair

Beautiful Desiree

[Verse 2]

Dear Desiree

The letters I sent you they came back

The gold chain I got you came back

Why's your momma actin like that

Kept us at a distance

Missing you on Christmas

Darling Desiree, I know that one day

We will have a laugh, share a cry

One day before I die

Sometimes two people just can't get along

Me and your mom fought all night long

And every day, a stressful way

To live life

So I did what I thought was right

Yeah I skipped out

Packed up my things as if I didn't care about

This life that I helped to bring out

In this world

Either that, or spend time in jail

Domestic violence, this life's a hell

An empty shell

But love will prevail

Love child Desiree

[Verse 3]

Your heart, has to be empty too

You gotta feel the love I have for you

Dear daughter Desiree

Did you know I named you

You're my wish come true I love you

Baby, understand

Music is how I stand

How I preach, reach and teach

Touch each and every soul

Without it I'm cold

Without it I grow old

And stand still

Never know my true will

Which is to speak the word

Of the Divine spark of light

In the name of mine

I find her Desiree

You know you got a brother now

Eyes and smile like mine, like ours

My love grows more

As time goes more

As life grows more

Dearest daughter Desiree

Love always

Daddy

PS, I love you
