A Father's Lament
When I found you I loved you and my feelings haven't changed
I gave you shelter and dried you from the rain
I gave my all to you as this cancer ate my brain
I took us through hell and there's no turning back
A father failed on this day
To save his child from harm's way
On my knees I scream
Please give him back to me
I wasn't well enough to save you this time
My conscience is eaten up by the guilt of this crime
I promised I'd care for you 'till the day i died
Then I let you down swallowed up by foolish pride
A father failed on this day
To save his child from harm's way
On my knees I scream
Please give him back to me
I never wanted it to end this way
To leave a child stranded burning at hell's gates
I wanted to help you but I couldn't help myself
I tried to save us now there's no going back
A father failed on this day
To save his child from harm's way
On my knees I scream
Please give him back to me
On this day I failed
To save my son from harm's way
On my knees I plead
Just give him back to me
I gave you shelter and dried you from the rain
I gave my all to you as this cancer ate my brain
I took us through hell and there's no turning back
A father failed on this day
To save his child from harm's way
On my knees I scream
Please give him back to me
I wasn't well enough to save you this time
My conscience is eaten up by the guilt of this crime
I promised I'd care for you 'till the day i died
Then I let you down swallowed up by foolish pride
A father failed on this day
To save his child from harm's way
On my knees I scream
Please give him back to me
I never wanted it to end this way
To leave a child stranded burning at hell's gates
I wanted to help you but I couldn't help myself
I tried to save us now there's no going back
A father failed on this day
To save his child from harm's way
On my knees I scream
Please give him back to me
On this day I failed
To save my son from harm's way
On my knees I plead
Just give him back to me
