my son Video (MV)

In the darkness of the night a mother's choice
Tore apart a son's world silenced his voice
Pulled from his home by the hand of law
Locked away with strangers his spirit raw
A soft and sweet boy with innocence pure
Thrown into chaos his future unsure
He paid a price too high for wanting to see
His father's love his heart's decree
Oh my son why did you have to bear
The weight of a mother's despair?
Locked away with strangers your spirit torn
In the shadows of injustice you were born
A complicated divorce a battle ensued
But why did you suffer why were you subdued?
Locked up with young drug dealers their world so dark
You a beacon of light left with a mark
Your father's love a crime in her eyes
But in your heart it never dies
You're a soft and sweet boy who does no harm
Why did you have to face this storm?
Oh my son why did you have to bear
The weight of a mother's despair?
Locked away with strangers your spirit torn
In the shadows of injustice you were born
Through the pain and the tears you remain strong
Your spirit unbroken though the road was long
But why did you have to endure this fight
In the battle of wrong against right?
Now your future hangs in the balance uncertain and bleak
But know that your father's love it's what you seek
Though the scars may run deep and the wounds may sting
You'll rise above like a bird on wing
For you're a soft and sweet boy with a heart so kind
And in the darkness your light will find
A path to redemption a way to heal
From the pain of the past your heart will steal
Oh my son why did you have to bear
The weight of a mother's despair?
Locked away with strangers your spirit torn
In the shadows of injustice you were born
Oh my son
Locked away with strangers your spirit torn
In the shadows of injustice you are strong!
You are strong!
