If I Could Talk To My Father Again

Daddy please explain to me why
When I was young you had to die
I’ve tried to be strong and hold back the tears
Control my emotions and face my fears

Yet there is this void that can not be filled
there is a truth not yet revealed
How much I pray you could hear me say
If I could talk to my father again

Daddy don’t leave me, Daddy I need you, Daddy come home, I’m so all alone
Daddy I love you, Daddy I need you, Daddy please set me free,
If I could talk to my father again

Mamma keeps telling me that you aren’t dead
yet you no longer say prayers before I go to bed
Mamma, Mamma you don’t understand
I need my daddy to become a man

Guide me and mold me, tell me I can
discipline with love, draw the line in the sand
How much I pray you could hear me say
If I could talk to my father again

Daddy don’t leave me, Daddy I need you, Daddy come home, I’m so all alone
Daddy I love you, Daddy I need you, Daddy please set me free,
If I could talk to my father again

Year after year and tear after tear
time has moved on and your grandchildren are here
Question after question I ask in my heart
Daddy why this, Daddy why that, where do I start

Daddy please explain please tell me why
When I was young you had to die
Mamma keeps telling me that you aren’t dead
Yet that is what you are inside my head

Daddy don’t leave me, Daddy I need you, Daddy come home, I’m so all alone
Daddy I love you, Daddy I need you, Daddy please set me free,
If I could talk to my father again



Now that you are gone I can hear you say
Daddy, when I was born, why did you have to die
Why did you disown us and make Mamma cry
She keeps telling me that you aren’t dead
Just loving another family and wife instead

Daddy don’t leave me, Daddy I need you, Daddy come home, I’m so all alone
Daddy I love you, Daddy I need you, Daddy please set me free,
If I could talk to my father again

Father in heaven, please help me I pray
to never live my life in such a way
that my son will ever have to say

Daddy don’t leave me, Daddy I need you, Daddy come home, I’m so all alone
Daddy I love you, Daddy I need you, Daddy please set me free,
If I could only talk to my father again
