Unfortunately my dreams

Take a backseat to reality

I have to do what's best

For my daughter and for me

Because I have to do what's right 

These cords have entwined me

And though I pray for release each night

I must respect the ties that bind me

I am tied and I am tired

And my verse feels uninspired

But the choice was mine to make 

So I'm bound for my daughter's sake
