The Book You Never Read

When you were lost and needed help
I hoped you would have turned to me
And when you couldnt save yourself
I watched you drowned that misery
Ive seen the damage you have done
Every teardrop and misstep
You know I could have saved you some
Im the book you never read
Your granddaddy carried me in
World War 2
Your grandma swears that
I am the truth
Your parents hands were on me when they wed
Im like a member of the family
Three generations have handed me down
Im in the drawer by your bed
Im the book you never read
I cant take the first step for you
But when you take that step youll find
You are the key,
I am the door to
Forgiveness and some peace of mind and you know
Your granddaddy carried me in
World War 2
Your grandma swears that
I am the truth
Your parents hands were on me when they wed
Im like a member of the family
Three generations have handed me down
And despite that is all theyve said
Im still the book you never read
So when the world treats you unkindly
And your heart is heavy with regret
Thats when
I wish you would find me
Im the book youve never read
Your granddaddy carried me in
World War 2
Your grandma swears that
I am the truth
Your parents hands were on me when they wed
Im like a member of the family
Three generations have handed me down
Im in the drawer by your bed
Im still book you neverread, youve never read
