My daughter who I long to see
To hear, to hold, and to be with thee
I wait in chains to be set free
Each second away eternity.
Your birth the promise of hope reborn
The debts I owe, the vice forsworn
From despair to hope my heart is torn
Beneath the mask of shame I’ve worn
Invest in you my broken pride
My heart, once closed, now open wide
From dark to light you’ve turned the tide
Revealed the good that grows inside.
