Leaving My Seat At The Table lyrics

Mother, may I be excused I’m not feeling very well And there is so much more I hunger for Than what you can supply Father, may I sit this out My mind’s preoccupied I’ve had too much but it’s not enough My heart is restless within me Giving all they can to me every day Sending all their love to me in their own way Still seems to leave me wanting more Still seems to leave me wanting more So, I know I must push away from the table that’s before me I can’t be satisfied from this table before me It only fills me up so far, inside And I’m pretty full inside Not much is inside, I’m empty inside Mother may I be excused I know there’s someone out there Who can give me what I need and you know the one I mean Father may I sit this out ‘Cause there’s another table with a man who calls me son But I don’t know his name Always looking for another good deed to do Always looking for a thing to prove my worth But it leaves me wanting more Always leaves me wanting more
