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
