Wrong+Again

Wrong Again by Nicholas Jerry Wrong again Father, I hate to tell you this You taught me how to hit the mark And once again I missed Touch the fire You always said that I'd get burned Why is it so hard to remember All the lessons I have learned

Chorus: How can you look at me that way When I have failed so many times Showing me love, you tell the world This child is mine How can you walk that extra mile I see forgiveness in your smile So sure you'd reject me Wrong again

Once again Lord, I have wandered from your path Thought I knew a better way Coming short of what you've asked Standing here I don't deserve a second chance And I can't conceal The shame I feel It's more than I can stand

Chorus: How can you look at me that way When I have failed so many times Showing me love, you tell the world This child is mine How can you walk that extra mile I see forgiveness in your smile So sure you'd desert me Wrong again

When I look into your face And see the power of your grace I find it so hard to believe Forgiveness that you’re showing me I see the answer in your eyes Love and mercy realized And finally your truth has set me free

Chorus: How can you look at me that way When I have failed so many times Showing me love, you tell the world This child is mine How can you walk that extra mile I see forgiveness in your smile

I thought you would scold me Instead you just hold me Thought you would judge me Instead you just love me So sure you'd reject me Wrong again

** This song/poem is about the author and the relationship he has with his father. Basically, the author says that he has made and makes numerous mistakes. Even though he makes these mistakes his father forgives him. The author says “I see forgiveness in your smile”. He has doubt that his father will forgive him but after every mistake surprisingly to the son, he does. The author gives many examples of times he has made a mistake. His father still loves him after each of them. His father is proud to show his son to the world. The author says “Showing me love, you tell the world/this child is mine”. ** **The author feels he doesn’t deserve a second, third, fourth...chance. His father gives him as many as he needs. It’s amazing to the author that his father doesn’t punish him, disown him or even show a speck of disappointment. He expects scolding, judging and/or rejection. Instead his father holds him and loves him. The son expects negativity and when he is given the opposite he realizes he is wrong again. The relationship of the father and son defines the word beautiful. -Tulip Kabir** = =
