Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] Somewhere in the night, a little child cries He runs up to his room where he tries to hide Trying to keep the tears from falling upon his face Praying that God above would take him from this place [Verse] No matter where he runs the sound echoes in his ears The anger in his father’s voice fills his heart with fear He runs into his closet and closes the door so tight Wondering why his daddy has to hit him every night [Chorus] Every night he stands alone in the shadows of fear Hoping that these words his father will one day hear Father father please forgive me Though I know not what I’ve done Please don’t hurt me, please don’t hit me I’ll try and be a better son [Violin Solo] [Verse] He says his prayers every night before he lays down But you know you can’t sleep if you’re afraid of every sound He stares at the ceiling wondering what he’s doing wrong Hoping that one day soon his pain will all be gone [Chorus] Every night he stands alone in the shadows of fear Hoping that these words his father will one day hear Father father please forgive me Though I know not what I’ve done Please don’t hurt me, please don’t hit me I’ll try and be a better son [Bridge] Even though he’s just a child He’s going to grow up so fast How can you have a future With a wasteland for a past [Final Chorus] Every night he stands alone in the shadows of fear Hoping that these words his father will one day hear Father father please forgive me Though I know not what I’ve done Please don’t hurt me, please don’t hit me I’ll try and be a better son
