You Only Know His Name
You only know his name
You only know the story
To you, he's just a piece of news
A headline to peruse
You only know his name
You barter with his trauma
My tears are fathers' fears
But yours appear as TV drama
Hats off, you're giving quite a show
You only know his name
You only know his name
Why not the man who broke him?
Is his fence too high to get past, or
Do you not know what you would ask, or
Is it that you think my son's to blame?
You only know his name
(Elijah)
Exempt from being a child
(Elijah)
I tried to shelter him from seeing
This vile reality
Soon I'll have to send him for miles
And pray that he makes it back home
(Elijah)
Take your camera and your microphone and walk away
I don't have it in me
I can't do this, not today
Yes, I'm finally angry
Is that what you want me to say?
I'm glad that he's okay
I pray his arm gets better
Soon you'll forget his name
But he'll always remember
You only know the story
To you, he's just a piece of news
A headline to peruse
You only know his name
You barter with his trauma
My tears are fathers' fears
But yours appear as TV drama
Hats off, you're giving quite a show
You only know his name
You only know his name
Why not the man who broke him?
Is his fence too high to get past, or
Do you not know what you would ask, or
Is it that you think my son's to blame?
You only know his name
(Elijah)
Exempt from being a child
(Elijah)
I tried to shelter him from seeing
This vile reality
Soon I'll have to send him for miles
And pray that he makes it back home
(Elijah)
Take your camera and your microphone and walk away
I don't have it in me
I can't do this, not today
Yes, I'm finally angry
Is that what you want me to say?
I'm glad that he's okay
I pray his arm gets better
Soon you'll forget his name
But he'll always remember
