The sun's barely risen all the morning dew There's something weighing heavy where the heartache grew
A small room in the shadows where dreams come undone
Whispered prayers for the health of his only son
He sits by the bedside, one Bible in hand
Mumbled words to the Lord, trying to understand
How a life so fragile could be touched by such pain
A stoic father weeps in the quiet refrain
Oh, Lord, hear his father's prayer
Give strength to the boy lying there
Through nights of restless, through days so long
In the heart of a father, his love still
Stays strong
The scent of the pine trees wades through the air
Outside the window, birds sing without a care
But inside the room, time moves slow
Each breath a battle that the father knows
He sits by the bedside, one Bible in hand
Mumbled words to the Lord, trying to understand
How a life so fragile could be touched by such pain
A stoic father weeps in the quiet refrain
Oh, Lord, hear his father's prayer
Give strength to the boy lying there
Through nights of restless, through days so long
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
Give strength to the boy lying there
Through nights of restless, through days so long
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
To the day that he leaves me
Oh, Lord, hear his father's prayer



Give strength to the boy lying there
Through nights of restless, through days so long
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
Oh, hear his father's prayer
Give strength to the boy lying there
Through nights of restless, through days so long
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
A small room in the shadows where dreams come undone
Whisper prayers for the health of his only son
He sits by the bedside, one Bible in hand
Mumbled words to the Lord, trying to understand
How a life so fragile could be touched by such pain
A stoic father weeps in the quiet refrain
Oh, Lord, hear his father's prayer
Give strength to the boy lying there
Through nights of restless, through days so long
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
The scent of the pine trees wades through the air
Outside the window, birds sing without a care
But inside the room, time moves slow
Each breath, a battle that the father knows
He sits by the bedside, one Bible in hand
Mumbled words to the Lord, trying to understand
How a life so fragile could be touched by such pain
A stoic father weeps in the quiet refrain
Oh, Lord, hear his father's prayer
Give strength to the boy lying there
Through nights of restless, through days so long
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
The scent of the pine trees wades through the air
Outside the window, birds sing without a care
But inside the room, time moves slow
Each breath, a battle that the father knows
Memories all out after playing in the yard
Life's a gentle whisper, it's suddenly hard
A father's tears fall like the evening rain
Praying for a miracle to ease the pain
Oh, Lord, hear his father's prayer
Give strength to the boy lying there
Through nights of restless, through days so long
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
Oh, Lord, hear his father's prayer
Give strength to the boy lying there
Through nights of restless, through days so long
In the heart of a father, his love stays strong
