[Verse 1]

Tore it up again

I couldn’t stop again

Let it go till there was nothing in the way

Fought the feeling then

I gave in again

Sweet surrender to the angel I denied

When you came to life

I was terrified

I knew that nothing else would ever feel the same

Doubt came over me

What kind of father would I be?

I knew the time had come to stand up and be a man

[Pre-Chorus]

To change the face of my life

(To change the face of my life)

With your future in mind

(With your future in mind)

Time to do what was right (What is right)

A new beginning

[Chorus]

The world around me died

When I saw that heartbeat

I knew it wasn’t a sin

Can someone tell me

Why this has happened to me?

Why was it only in death

Were you redeemed, my child?

[Verse 2]

No serenity

Within agony

Every day brings on a hundred ways to fight

Constant scrutiny

I can feel you judging me

Resurrecting every demon left inside

The priest was horrified

You struggled, still alive

My one desire was to trade my soul for yours

Grief crippled me

The reaper cheated me

Left me yearning for the path I'd come to adore

[Pre-Chorus]

To change the face of my life

(To change the face of my life)

With your future in mind

(With your future in mind)

Time to do what was right (What is right)

A new beginning

[Chorus]

The world around me died

When I saw that heartbeat

I knew it wasn’t a sin

Can someone tell me

Why this has happened to me?

Why was it only in death

Were you redeemed, my child?

[Refrain]

My child

[Chorus]

The world around me died

When I saw that heartbeat

I knew it wasn’t a sin

Can someone tell me

Why this has happened to me?

Why was it only in death

Were you redeemed, my child?

[Outro]

I pray you were redeemed, my child
