Hi all, this is my 2nd co-write with JaneK and before we go to the music parts, any thoughts and suggestions on the lyrics will be appreciated.

Our thanks in advance

HE’S A CHANGED MAN (c)2019

verse 1
Been thirty years since the crime
That's how long he spent in Jail
Not the strong young man he was
Now he's stooped, half blind and frail

verse 2
The biggest crime that he did
Was leaving us both alone
Mum bought me up through childhood
Had to raise me on her own

chorus
When Mom was on her deathbed
'Please Forgive him' she said
We know that he was bad
But still he is your Dad

verse 3
So I hear he's on a train
And he's making his way home
Thirty years away from us,
No Word, No Letter, No Phone

Verse 4
I know that I must meet him
As it was my mothers wish
I don't expect a miracle
Or a long lost fathers kiss

Bridge
There always was his mother and his brother Norm
Kept us in the family, keeping us informed.
Told us that Dad had found God, and he was reformed
Growing up I called them nanny and my uncle Norm.

chorus
When mum was on her deathbed
'Please Forgive him' she said
We know that he was bad
But still he is your Dad

We know that he was bad
But still he is your Dad
