 See the little boy in the little yard

With so little joy but he tries very hard

His daddy is gone he came down the stairs

Said, "I love you my son but I won't be coming home no more"

See the little boy in the little yard

See his little heart getting very hard

And the lesson is learned about running away

If you're a good little boy when it's hard turn and run

Just like- daddy has done

Daddy come home Daddy come home

Daddy come home don't you leave me alone

Daddy come home

See the little boy wrapped in the heart of this man

Caught in a void that he may never span

When love comes he goes though he hungers so bad

'Cause when they tell you they're true

It's a set up for you so run when you can

Daddy come home daddy come home

If you come home tonight

everything will be right for me

Daddy come home

So, will the little boy erase the echo of dad?

Rekindle the joy give up being sad

Find the love that was there deep in his heart always there

Stop running away and this time stay

Say goodbye to dad

Daddy come home (He’s never gonna make it)

Daddy come home (I’ve got to learn how to take it)

Daddy come home daddy come home daddy come home

 

Daddy come home (Maybe I don’t really need him)

Daddy come home (I’ll just take care of myself)

Daddy come home daddy come home daddy come home

Daddy come home (He’s never gonna make it)

Daddy come home (I’ve got to learn how to take it) Daddy come home daddy come home daddy come home

Daddy come home (Maybe I don’t really need him)

Daddy come home (I’ll just take care of myself) Daddy come home daddy come home daddy come home
