The key to my survival
was never in much doubt
the question was how I could keep sane
trying to find a way out
things were never easy for me
peace of mind was hard to fin
and I needed a place where I could hide
somewhere I could call mine
I didn´t think much about it
til it started happening all the time
soon I was living with the fear everyday
of what might happen at night
I couldn´t stand to hear the
rying of my mother
and I remember when
I swore that, that would be the
last they´d see of me
and I never went home again
they say time is a healer
and new my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he´d say
He sat me down to talk to me
he looked me straght in the eyes
he said:
You´re no son, no son of mine
You´re no son, no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
and you´re no son, no son of mine
oh, his words how they hurt me, I´ll never forget it
nd as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
You´re no son, no son of mine
but where should I go,
and what should I do
you´re no son, no son of mine
but I came here for help, I came here for you
Well the years they passed slowly
I thought about him everyday
what would I do, if we passed on the street
would I keep running away
in and out of hiding places
soon I´d have to face the facts
we´d have to sit down and talk it over
and that would mean going back
they say time is a healer
and now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he´d say
He sat me down to talk to me
he looked me straght in the eyes
he said:
You´re no son, no son of mine
You´re no son, no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
and you´re no son, no son of mine
