I'm not your son, you're not my father

No need to forgive, no need to forget

I know your mistakes and you know mine

The time has gone

So here it is

To chase the monsters away

Sleep a lifetime

Yes, and breathe a last word

You can feel my hand on your arm

I will be the last one so I'll leave a light on

Let there be no darkness in your heart
