Deny lyrics

Mother, mother, you're not listening any more I am still the little boy with his height notched on the door And it seems that my life has not turned out cut and dry And it should have been love, love that showed you why You cannot deny, you cannot deny me now Father, father you are making a big mistake I am not a shiny trophy, or another call that you forgot to make And I have listened very closely to every word you have not tried And it should have been love, love that showed you why You cannot deny, you cannot deny me now Oh my Lord, why's it taken you so long? To give me grace and the dignity to right these wrongs I will lead today, and I will follow you tomorrow When the gloaming of my life, brings the promise of a peaceful night And there's just one thing that I need to know That you will not deny, you will not deny me now
