about

I can't quite explain how this song came to me. I was leaving a dinner with friends and I heard the melody in my head. This was a Friday. By Sunday morning I had the entire song written. I love it when such things happen!

lyrics

Forgive me for I am a child
stolen from his mother's breast
Never knew a mother's love
never knew no Tenderness
For years long and sorrow wide
I staggered through this world alone
This you must consider please
before you cast your perfect stone

Forgive me, still I am a boy
though manly in my every way
amongst the brambles I did grow
far from eyes that looked away

Tables how they seem to turn
what you see as victory
tomorrow brings you agony
then leads you to a river blessed
lashing out in my despair
so many things I do regret
but tears have made the bitter sweet
now I know of Tenderness

(end)
