Catch The Sparrow - Necessary Child Lyrics

My dad left the army
It never left him
My dad came home safely
But the war raged on within
I heard him scream at night
By daytime
He screamed at my mistakes
It has always been this way
It's no use to play the blaming game
Just a way to dull the pain
Hoping still, it goes away someday

A child born out of necessity
Will always unconsciously feel guilty
A child born to claim a victory
Will never fully understand the idea
Of being free

I crept under tables
I hid in the hall
I learned to keep quiet
And to make my body small
I heard my mother cry
By daytime, she simply sighed
It has always been this way
It's no use to play the blaming game
All those years, I tried and tried
To keep all my fears so deep inside
I tried

A child born out of necessity
Will always unconsciously feel guilty
A child born to claim a victory
Will never fully understand the idea
Of being free
