Another day has gone by
And I’m here sitting here wondering why
Why my daddy couldn’t be a father
Instead he left the responsibility on my brother
And he’s only five years older than me
How could this had come to be
Another day has gone by
And I’m sitting here wondering why
Why my mother’s husband
Refused to become a man
Leaving her with three children to raise alone
While he sat in the living room stoned
Another day has gone by
And I’m sitting here wondering why
Why some men can’t seem to take responsibility
And why some can’t seem to face reality
Another day has gone by
And I’m sitting here wondering why
Why some men can’t seem to do right
As they are always taking flight
And leaving the scene of the crime
And leaving mothers and babies behind
Another day has gone by
And I’m sitting here wondering why
Why my father, my mother’s husband
Refused to grow up and become a man
He was quick to throw a punch and black an eye
And then become even angrier to see 4 people cry
Another day has gone by
And I’m sitting here wondering why
Why my father threw a hammer at my head
Was he really wishing I would become dead?
But some way, somehow it missed me
Obviously it wasn’t really meant to be
Another day has gone by
And I’m sitting here wondering why
Why daddy lie when he said he loved me
Come on now, how stupid could I really be
After momma packed us up, we left that night
And it finally our time to get up and take flight
She moved us to what seemed to be another world
It was then I was finally able to be a little girl
Another day has gone by
And I’m sitting here wondering why
Why my momma had to be the man
But you know what, I finally understand
So while my daddy is sitting up in jail
The four of us has yet to fail
And at the age of twenty three
I’m doing good at making my dreams reality
Another day has gone by
And I’m no longer sitting here wondering why
So for now, I bid you all a temporary good bye
Because I right now, I’m finally able to fly.
