[Hook]

When you come home, I’ll stop this
When you come home, I’ll hide it good
I’ll never cry again
When you come home to me

[Verse 1]

I can only sit here and wonder about what I did wrong,
'Cause I'm worried 'bout where you could've gone and it hasn't been long.
As a parent, I was mortified when I found your bedroom empty.
So many worries inside my head, and I've got plenty!
Did I push you away? Was it something that I said?
What did I do to put a wrong idea inside your head?
I hear every day about kids going missing on the news,
Now I'm faced with a nightmare that I prayed would never come true.

My child, please come back to your dad! I swear we can make it work!
'Cause your mother hasn't stopped crying, she cannot take this hurt!
The police are looking for you, all of it's got me worried sick!
Hoping deep inside, that this is some sort of ungodly trick!
I fear you'll turn up dead, that outcome would break me up!
If I'm living inside a nightmare, somebody please wake me up!
There's no outcome yet, so I still pray though it drives me crazy,
So if you're listening my child, please come back home safely!

[Verse 2]

Daddy, can you hear me when I cry?
Mommy says to get some sleep, but it's hard when I try
Ever since you went away, my life has felt so empty,
Only 5 years old, yet you'd still rather pretend to me
That you'll be back soon, you said that way back in April!
It's September now, were those words fake like a fable?
I want to see your face again, outside of my dreams!
Wish you didn't leave with all those men dressed in green!

Mommy says that you are fine and you'll be back soon,
Yet I always see her cry while she watches the news!
Something about a war, in the heartland of Sudan,
Something about a conflict, in somewhere called Iran.
You're protecting the country, that's what people insist,
I'm too young to understand, but that fact they persist.
But I still have my worries, just know that I still care,
And if you're out there fighting daddy, please don't die out there.

[Bridge]

I saw you again I knew just where you’d be.
I’ll stop this real soon when you’re back safe with me.
