Tears of a Child

Far away a distant land a distant time
 There's a boy, a little child, only nine
 A loyal son, His father's cause becomes His own
 And the attacks rain down on His home
 Just a boy and the mother all alone
 Wrongly accused the father's gone taken away
 To a dungeon with no light of day
 The boy is strong and He tries to carry on
 His heart bleeding for His father's song
 How can they do Him so wrong
 How many nights, how many days
 The child cries the child prays for Him to come home again
 His soul's awake,
 He's feeling weak His little tears stream down His cheek
 But he must be strong and carry on
 Far away, underground the father's torn
 His heart bleeding for the love of His son
 His only wish to comfort Him, and dry the tears
 And to hold Him, in His arms
 To shield the boy from harm
 The child goes to see Him, do not bring him in here
 The galling chains the sorrow and
 pain, He falls to the ground and faints
 His heart would be the first to see, the change He'd recognize
 A different man He'd come to serve, the light within His eyes
