A Father's Tears

[Verse] In the golden glow as the day retreats A wounded heart whispers a silent plea Falling tears like rain on deserted streets A father's world shattered Cries in defeat [Verse] A little boy with laughter His spirit so bright Brought warmth to all with his innocent light Now silence fills the room A void so wide A father's grief An ache that won't subside [Chorus] Empty arms A soul torn apart A father's love lost A battle with no restart Clutching memories Trying to mend his broken heart In the depths of sorrow A new beginning he seeks to chart [Verse] In the still of night He searches for solace The weight of loss An unbearable cross He yearns for answers But they elude his grasp A father's love Forever masked [Verse] Whispers of the past echo through his mind The joy they shared The love they'd find But now he's left with fragments of a dream A broken bond A silent scream [Chorus] Empty arms A soul torn apart A father's love lost A battle with no restart Clutching memories Trying to mend his broken heart In the depths of sorrow A new beginning he seeks to chart [End of song]
