You were not there
When I came into this world
When I learned to speak
When I learned to walk.
I only wanted acceptance from you
You were not there.
I tried for your attention
You were not there.
I got good grades in school
You showed up for my kindergarten graduation
You showed up for my fifth grade graduation
You showed up for my eight-grade graduation
You even showed for my twelfth grade graduation to make an appearance,
But for me, You were not there.
I only wanted your acceptance
I'm in college now
Your acceptance you still have not shown
What do I have to do, to make me to you be known?
