Lyrics

With one last fight he said goodbye, yeah He held his face up to the sky, yeah He threw his hands upon his side So little of the world had passed him by When daddy screamed at him "You've got a life you have to live" He was only seventeen with hopeful eyes He never knew the streets were so unkind No one knew about the pain he kept within He'll never forget this cold December He held his face up to the sky, yeah He threw his hands upon his side, yeah He was left alone to make his way The time had come for him to say "The rest of my life begins today" He bottled up the pain with a hate inside When he let it come to life he found a life he hadn't lived He grew into a man as the years went by Forty-five with hopeful eyes In a world that's his and a son to love He won't forget that cold December He held his face up to the sky, yeah He threw his hands upon his side, yeah He was left alone to make his way The time had come for him to say "The rest of my life begins today" So he sent a message to his son "If you're lost I'll help you find your way Don't forget you'll always have a home And I swear, you'll never have to say goodbye" He held his face up to the sky, yeah He threw his hands upon his side, yeah He was left alone to make his way The time had come for him to say "The rest of my life begins today" The rest of my life begins today The rest of my life begins today The rest of my life begins today The rest of my life begins today
