Father Forgive Me

See him in the pew every Sunday morning

With a smile across his face

Seems like he's got it all together

But this just his escape

Hell awaits for him

When the service is over

And he goes back home alone

The bottles waiting his strength is fading

He's about to let go

Father forgive me but I don't know if I can carry on

Please won't you fight for me? Cuz I can't do this on my own

A little boy is watching him

See's his pain and he starts to cry

He don't understand what is happening

But he sees right through the lie

Hears a voice inside sayin' it's alright

That God still has a plan

He bows his little head and starts to pray

For the tortured man

Father forgive me but I don't know if he can carry on

Please won't you fight for him? Cuz he can't do this on his own

Later on that night, the man is in his fight

He's just about to lose

When inside his head, a vision comes clear

And he sees that little boy

Hears that prayer that, the little boy had prayed

And his strength is made anew

He puts that bottle down, falls onto the ground

And he says his fervent prayer

Father forgive me now I know I must carry on

Please won't you fight for me? Cuz I can't do this on my own

Father forgive me now I know I must carry on

Please won't you fight for me? For with you I am made strong
