I Know

I know one day there's gonna be a light at the end of this road Been so long sometimes it feels like this won't go All my life I pray to Jah to hold me close Cuz I know one day there's gonna be a light at the end of this road At the end of this road At the end of this road My father used to be an alcoholic And when I was little it was a real problem Sitting by the phone hoping he would call me Waiting for the rush of happiness when we were talking Wishing we could see each other more often Feeling let down hearing promise after promise Mom, why's it gotta be this way What can't you take me Screw the courts and what they say Who is wrong who is right man I hate when you fight Man I hate when I cry, it happens every time It seems like no one's asking me how I was feeling inside So I put it aside and continued with life If I could only drive and go see him myself It feels like nothing Will change and he won't get help Wishing you would listen cuz your son was in need Of a father who show him how to grow into a king I know one day there's gonna be a light at the end of this road Been so long sometimes it feels like this won't go All my life I pray to Jah to hold me close Cuz I know one day there's gonna be a light at the end of this road At the end of this road At the end of this road My step ada was in the picture I was becoming a teen Guiding me through childhood and showing me what it means To be a man and how to survive in this messed up place This was my father now, I forgot that face We have a family now he don't ned you around Just leave him alone don't be coming around It was an awesome 10 years we were happy as ever I really though the this would last forever Until one day it broke down and my step dad left I would cry myself to sleep and hope to never wake again Betrayed 2 times man it don't make sense Are these panic attacks real or is it all in my head I tried to stay in his life but it want the way Couldn't take it anymore so I walked away It's been 8 years now and we sill don't talk I still think about him often and I'm praying to got cuz I know one day there's gonna be a light at the end of this road Been so long sometimes it feels like this won't go All my life I pray to Jah to hold me close Cuz I know one day there's gonna be a light at the end of this road At the end of this road At the end of this road I'm an adult now, I'm doing big things Depression and anxiety used to affect me It took a lot of healing and forgiveness inside To look below the surface my mind was trying to hide Smoking to much weed trying to forget my past But every time it creeps up the memories are bad Finally we got our relationship back My father's been clean he put it all in his past What a wonderful dad, my hero at last All I wanted was to feel the love of this man And now my folks are cool, we all gotta move on We can't stay back when things were going so wrong Had to get it off my chest so I wrote this song The journey wasn't easy yo it felt so long I used to not feel like I would ever belong Now I'm kneeling and I'm praying and I'm thankful to got cuz I know one day there's gonna be a light at the end of this road Been so long sometimes it feels like this won't go All my life I pray to Jah to hold me close Cuz I know one day there's gonna be a light at the end of this road At the end of this road At the end of this road
