Time cannot erase

Evanescence sang of a pain
That time cannot erase...
It's true to life: for we endure
We must go on living 
Hiding behind our frozen masks
We have our fights
Our screaming matches: our brawls
We feel our anger and our pain
We get on with living 
Hoping to leave it all behind...
Yet it happens over and over again
Our own lives repeating that shame
"Oh baby I'm sorry: I'm to blame
Please forgive me for causing your pain"

Is this how our children see us?
Do they suffer for our fate?
In beholding our anger, our fights
Do we condemn them to the same?
Do we tell them: that this is okay?
This is how to play life's game...
By beholding we become immune
To the daily terrors we...
Conceive to be the average...
The way of life; the norm...

God help us to see the truth
That love is the only way to go
Love is the better way...
It is God's way...
I pray it becomes man's way
Today...
