He's My Son

I'm down on my knees again tonight I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right You see there is a boy there that needs your help I've done all that I can do myself His mother is tired I'm sure you can understand Each night as he sleeps she goes in to hold his hand And she tries not to cry as the tears fill her eyes Can you hear me? Am I getting through tonight? Can you see him? Can you make him feel alright? Let me take his place somehow See he's not just anyone: he's my son Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep I deam of the boy he'd like to be I try to be strong and see him through But God, who he needs right now, is you Let him grow old, live life without this fear. What would I be, living without him here I'm so tired and he's scared Let him know that you're there Can you hear me Am I getting through tonight Can you see him can you make him feel alright If you can hear me let me take his place somehow See, he's not just anyone, He's my son Can you hear me, am I getting through tonight Can you see him, can you make him feel alright If you can hear me let me take his place somehow See, he's not just anyone Can you hear me, can you see him Please, don't leave him He's my son
