Father Buries Son - Herman Frank

Cries conceal the moonlight

I can hear he’s aching alone, within

Break the seal, say you’re not afraid

We are tired of hurting, aching

Still makes me cry

When the needles of pain will woe tonight

Still burn my eyes

Do you know how it feels

When your son nearly died?

Oh, I weep

I see his burning smile

Oh, I kneel

I will kneel into the realm

Of the Lord

God, I know I’ve been touched by sin

In the game of my live I’ve played, oh, no

I please you don’t take my child away

For mistakes that I my have made

Still don’t ask why

Please don’t say my child

Must die tonight

You must lie, let me die

Switch a father on death row
