Man to Child

Here's a man we all respect
His suit's white, he's keen on debts
Loves his kids, his wife's okay
Hope and surprise another day

I hope you die before you get too old
I know it's cruel, I feel that cold
If you love me I'll just stay away
Just give me hope and give me blame

Jesus, where did the time go?
Holy God, where is the money now?
Father, what am I doing here?
Mother, where is the love?

Saw you walking in the street today
Your lips were cracked, your hair was grey
Things should never ever be this way
Oh man to child - you've had your day

Jesus, where did the time go?
Holy God, where is the money now?
Father, what am I doing here?
Mother, mother where is the love?
