"Empty Cradle"

Slowcore, neo-classical, singer song writer, sad, emotional, fear, male vocals

Chorus
Why can the wicked bring new life,
While I stand here, empty inside?
I've done my best, I’ve been so kind,
But a father's joy, I can't find.

Verse 2
I see their smiles, hear their laughs,
But I'm left with aching halves.
The pain of what will never be,
Haunts my nights and steals my peace.
I try to find a reason why,
In a world where bad men get by.
Is it so wrong to ask for grace,
To hold a child, to see their face?

Chorus
Why can the wicked bring new life,
While I stand here, empty inside?
I've done my best, I’ve been so kind,
But a father's joy, I can't find.

Bridge
It's not fair, this twist of fate,
The good left out, the bad create.
A cruel world, where I can't see,
The child I’ve longed to hold close to me.
I hear their cries, I see their tears,
As I stand alone with all my fears.
The weight of what might never be,
Crushing down, suffocating me.

Chorus
Why can the wicked bring new life,
While I stand here, empty inside?
I've done my best, I’ve been so kind,
But a father's joy, I can't find.

Instrumental Break
(Soft guitar and piano solo, building with strings)

Verse 3
So here I stand, my heart laid bare,
Wishing for a world that cares.
I've seen the worst of human kind,
Yet all I want is a child to find.
To nurture, love, and call my own,
To watch them grow, to see them grown.
But all these dreams, they fade to dust,
In a world so cold, so unfair, so unjust.

Chorus
Why can the wicked bring new life,
While I stand here, empty inside?
I've done my best, I’ve been so kind,
But a father's joy, I can't find.

Outro
The cradle's empty, the room is cold,
A story of love, left untold.
I'll keep my hope, though it’s hard to see,
A different path, but still a family.
Maybe one day, a different way,
A child will come, and with them stay.
For now, I'll dream and keep the faith,
That somehow, someway, love will find a way

Verse 1 The dream of a child, it slips away, In silent rooms where shadows play. A heart so full, a love to give, Yet life's cruel hand says I can't live.

I've done my best, I’ve been so kind, But a father's joy, I can't find. Verse 2 I see their smiles, hear their laughs, But I'm left with aching halves.
