Wrong again
Father I hate to tell you this
You taught me how to hit the mark
And once again I missed
Touch the fire
You always said that I get burned
Why is it so hard, to remember
All the lessons I have learned,
[Refrain]
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times
Showing my love, you tell the world
This child is mine
How can you walk that extra mile
I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again
Once again,
Lord I have wondered from your path
Thought I knew a better way
From a shorter word you've asked
Standing here
I don't deserve a second chance
And I can't conceal the shame I feel
To more I can stand
[Refrain]
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times
Showing me love you tell the world
This child is mine,
How can you walk that extra mile,
I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you'd desert me
Wrong again
When I look into your face,
And see the power of your grace
I find it so hard to believe
Forgiveness that your showing me,
I see the answer in your eyes
Love and mercy realized
And finally the truth has set me free
[Refrain]
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times
Showing me love you tell the world
This child is mine,
How can you walk that extra mile
I see forgiveness in your smile
