Changed person

I used to be fat, used to be small
Used to be the kid kicking it all
Every time I climb only to fall
Now look at me, standing on top of the wall

I used to be the last one in my class
Failure is what I get from every task
Full of disgrace, I hid behind a mask
Now the time has come to gain back my trust

I used to be the black sheep among the white
Used to heat up the tension and sparked a fight
Shadow was my friend and darkness was my light
But now I'm a changed person regaining his pride

I used to aim for the moon but too busy gazing the stars
"Words speak louder than action" is the reason I couldn't make it far
It's all about the efforts, it's all about the scars
Now I'm polishing my own reflection from these golden bars

Sometimes the best way is to learn the hard way
You have to take that courage and leap out of your comfort bay
You won't gain anything if you forever stay
You can't be the predator if you're still the prey

My hero

Dad, before you go
I wanna tell you the things that I didn't show
I wish I could spend more time with you and let you know
That I just wanna hold you and never let you go

Dad, as days go by
I still can't stop the tears flowing from my eyes
I would trade anything, just name the price
I'm still a kid inside. I'm still not very wise

Dad, I know I'm not the best son
But my love for you is like the burning sun
If only I could travel back and treasure all the fun
If only I could hide you from the Reaper that's on the hunt

Dad, please forgive all of my bad deeds
I want nothing else, it's you that I need
Without you by my side, how could I lead
An empty life of mine in this world of greed

So dad, before you go
You will always be in my heart, you will always be my hero
I'm breaking down now and time suddenly feels so slow
I can't bear to watch you taking your last breath and slowly letting it go
