I have changed a part of the first verse a little. Where it currently says daddy here, in the song is mommy. But in my case, with daddy there sounds more appropriate. Also, I typed these lyrics from memory so if some of it is not quite right, please forgive me.
Down on my knees again tonight,
Hoping this prayer will turn out right.
See there is a boy that needs your help.
I've done all that I can do myself.
His daddy
is tired,
I'm sure
you can understand,
Each night
as he sleeps,
He goes
in and holds his hand.
And he
tries,
not to
cry,
as the
tears,
fill his
eyes.
Can you
hear me?
Am I getting
through the night?
Can you
see him?
Can you
make him feel alright?
If you
can hear me,
Let me
take his place somehow.
See he's
not just anyone,
He's my
son!
Sometimes
late at night I watch him sleep.
I dream
of the boy he'd like to be.
I try
to be strong and see him through.
But, God,
who he needs right now is you.
Please
let him grow old.
Live life
without this fear.
What would
I be,
Living
without him here.
He's so
tired.
And he's
scared,
Let him
know,
That you're
there.
Can you
hear me?
Am I getting
through the night?
Can you
see him?
Can you
make him feel alright?
If you
can hear me,
Let me
take his place somehow.
See he's
not just anyone,
He's my
son!
Can you
hear me?
Am I getting
through the night?
Can you
see him?
Can you
make him feel alright?
If you
can hear me,
Let me
take his place somehow.
See he's
not just anyone,
He's my
son!
Can you
hear me?
Can you
see him?
Please
don't leave him.
He's my
son!
