Part Of Me – Damian Wilson – letras

By the mill on the ‘Wey’ CanalWe had shouted and run aboutAnd though your laughter echoed outThe sun came up and you weren’t aroundDecades pass but you still belongStill the memory of you goes onAnd though my life had just begunYou were destined not to comeThough I find it hard to sayBut part of me was lost that dayYou’re my son and will always beYou’re the reason that I must seeI hope your dreams reach out for meWhen I look I just have to weepAre you parted from what you want?Are you stumbling where once you’d run?And never know where you belong?Or understand where you’re coming fromThough I find it hard to sayBut part of me was lost that dayI was tired beyond beliefReached out just to search for peaceAnd breathe the water of the deepStill my body could not find sleepWhen the laughter it seems all wrongWhen the sunshine becomes too strongAnd oh the pain that still goes onPlentiful for everyoneThough I find it hard to sayBut part of me was lost that dayIs this torment we should not have?Is this grief that is not of man?And still our lives seem out of handOne day will we understand?If we learn from the days that passIf we learnt, would we ever ask?And can it truly control us?Should we fear what we haven’t lost?Though I find it hard to sayBut part of me was made that way
