I'm going to be posting the song I mentioned in John Lennon Saved My Life in a couple of days. It will be recorded on my friend's computer, so it's not going to sound studio quality, but I thought everyone should hear it. It was really important in my journey to forgiveness. Here are the lyrics:
Gone
Verse 1
Mommy, you're gone; it's so hard to explain.
All my life you've caused me such pain
Cuz you didn't want a family man, You didn't want me too.
Broke my heart, cuz all I ever wanted was you.
Chorus
Well now since you've been gone,
Thoughts run through my head.
Since you've left me the very last time,
Since you've been dead.
Well, I hate you. I love you. I just want to see.
Free of doubt and free of fear: what's a family?
Verse 2
Now you are dead; buried in the ground
Now I wonder, if there's hope to be found
And I wonder, if you've loved me at all
And if you did, then why weren't you in it for the long haul?
Bridge
Six feet in the ground, now there's no hope to be found
Six feet in the ground, now there's no hope to be found
Chorus
Well now since you've been gone,
Thoughts run through my head.
Since you've left me the very last time,
Since you've been dead.
Well, I hate you. I love you. I just want to see.
Free of doubt and free of fear: what's a family?
Free of doubt and free of fear: what's a family?
Mommy, I'm still here, will you please hold me?
Listen to me, Asher Lev. As an artist you are responsible to no one and to nothing, except to yourself and to the truth as you see it.

Well, where's the song? I remember you singing this in college and I was really impressed. I sit in front of this computer all day long clicking refresh until the tune arrives!
It's coming. I'm waiting on a friend to let me use their equipment because my computer sucks. I want to record it now, it's just a matter of when my friend will have time to let me use it.
