I have regrets, and most I can forgetBut one stays with me like an armNo matter where I amI feel like AbrahamI put my blade inside its sheath,And find it's not a bluffThe only thing I've learnedFrom one time being burnedIt can only be a lesson learnedIf you get a second chanceTo take a different stanceI blew my one and only chanceAnd once was not enoughA holy shepherd near the Dawn of ManHas his faith put to the testTo prove his strengthTo prove his grace and loveThe fastest angel is sent from highKeeps the knife from his son's chestHe said, "That'll do" (that'll do)"That'll do" (that'll do)That'll doWell how do you prove love?Or what a man's made of?I don't make these ambitions mineI just want him to knowGod I miss him soI kiss his portrait by my bedAnd sleep with his old stuffI have regrets, and most I can forgetBut one stays with me like an armNo matter where I amI feel like AbrahamI put the blade inside its sheath,And wish it were a bluffThis Abe has had enough
