In my twenty-one years of living

I have never felt so helpless

Your agony is leaving me restless

I don't know how much more I can take

I can feel you slipping away

Growing farther and farther apart

Your absence is leaving me in the dark



It's been years since I've even seen you

The only thing I've heard is about the hell that you've been through

The demons that you fight are the ones I fight too



I've done all I could just to bring her back



Mother I've done all I could to bring you back

We're growing older as the years they pass

Just bring her home God bring her home



You've got it in you

I'm living proof



It's been five long years since I've danced with the devil

I want the same for you but you have to want it too

And I'll always be proud to be your son

But my sole intent is to see that His will is done



Your absence is leaving me in the dark
