 Well the key to my  survival
 Was never  in much doubt
 The question  was how I  could keep sane
Trying  to find a way  out
 Things were never easy  for me
 Peace of mind  was hard to find
 And I needed  a place where I  could hide
Somewhere  I could call mine
I  didn't think much  about it
 Til it started  happening all the time
Soon  I was living with the fear  everyday
 Of what  might happen that night
I  couldn't stand to hear  the
 Crying of my mother
 And I remember when
 I swore that, that  would be the
 Last they'd see  of me
 And I never  went home again
 They say the time is a healer
 And now my wounds  are not the same
 I rang the bell with my heart  in my mouth
 I had  to hear what he'd say
 He sat me down to talk  to me
 He looked me straight in the eyes
 He said:
 You're no  son, you're no  son of mine
 You're no  son, you're no  son of mine
You  walked out, you left  us behind
And  you're no son, no  son of mine
Oh,  his words how they hurt me, I'll  never forget  it
  And  as the time, it went by,  I lived  to regret it
You're  no son, you're no  son of mine
 But where should I go,
 And what  should I do
You're  no son, you're no  son of mine
 But I came here for help, oh I  came here for  you
 Well the years  they passed so slowly
I  thought about him everyday
What  would I do, if we passed  on the street
Would  I keep running away
 In and out of hiding places
Soon  I'd have to face the facts
 We'd have  to sit down and talk  it over
 And that  would mean going back
They  say the time is a healer
 And now my wounds  are not the same
 I rang that bell  with my heart  in my mouth
 I had  to hear what he'd say
 He sat me down to talk  to me
 He looked me straight in the eyes
 He said:
 You're no  son, you're no  son of mine
 You're no  son, you're no  son of mine
 You walked out, you left  us behind
 And you're no son, no  son of mine
Oh,  his words how they hurt me, I'll  never forget  it
  And  as the time, it went by,  I lived  to regret it
 You're no son, you're no  son of mine
 But where should I go,
 And what  should I do
 You're no son, you're no  son of mine
 But I came here for help, oh I  was looking  for you
You're  no son, you're no  son of mine - oh
You're  no son - ha yeah,  ha yeah, ha yeah,  ha yeah ha yeah
 You're no son,  you're no son of mine -  oh, oh...
