And he said
I really miss my kids so if you see them
Tell them that I love them but I doubt they'll believe it
Never home I was always out drinking
So they ran away, ran away with good reason
Wishing I could just change like the seasons
But instead, life destroyed me. I'm speechless
With a bottle in my hand that's depleted
Grandfather time, please I'm on my knees pleading
To help this one time, I swear I'll do right
I swear I'll be home for my family every night
And I'll care only for the woman that I call my wife
No more cheating, no more lying, no more afternoon delight
With a girl that I met at the bar last night
Just give me one chance to go and fix my life
This old man has got too much pain inside
Too many sleepless nights, it needs to end tonight!

(The rain falls down on me, and washes away)
So I said grandfather time, will you turn back your hands and let me live my life again
(Everything I need. I need you always)
Please… please… please
(The rain falls down on me, and washes away)
So I say Grandfather Time, will you turn back your hands
(Everything I need. I need you always)

The mirror crashes as she throws across the room
That last piece of evidence she was ever with him
Straight A student, how could she be stupid?
She made a life mission to go and hunt down cupid
Putting her in a position she wasn't used to
That boy left town when he heard the news too
That in nine months, he would have to be a father
So in nine months, you know he couldn't be farther
She has to break it to her parents alone
She can't afford to raise the kid, she'll also need a loan
Her parents kicked her out, nowhere else to go
How could one life reach this all time low?
Grandfather time, will you give her one chance
To go back in time, fix this broken romance?
She deserves more than this, so I swear
That kid deserves a father that will always be there

(The rain falls down on me, and washes away)
So I said grandfather time, will you turn back your hands and let me live my life again
(Everything I need. I need you always)
Please… please… please
(The rain falls down on me, and washes away)
So I said Grandfather Time, will you turn back your hands
(Everything I need. I need you always)

They each boarded the plane that they were assigned
And they looked to the sky and prayed at the same time
How could they not care that one sacrifice
Would cause a whole nation to just break down and cry
Those cowards hit the towers and they fell to the ground
And as pain flooded this country, the rest of them smiled
Damage done… battle won
And then we're fighting back, this war was nowhere near done
Bombs were still blasting, people were asking
When we're coming home how long is this lasting?
No one knows the answers, we're waiting with our hands up
People getting antsy, most of us were fed up
I couldn't wait for the day that we came home
But there's still work to do so let's get this job done
Grandfather time please turns them hands back
So I can warn this nation we're about to be attacked
