The sun has set
The lights go out
It's time for bed
Daddy will be home
Too early it seems
I hate it when he's home
It's then you hear the hearts scream
He fights with mom
Heads to his room
Trouble's brewing
It will be here soon
It's late at night
When I'm scared the most
That's when I'm frightened
Don't let Daddy in
Is it too much to ask
Is it too hard to find
A pure and devoted love
Is it rare to come by
I don't ask for the world
Just a hand to hold
Through the good and the bad
My only wish is for a dad
The sun's just coming up
The door slowly opens
He comes, he goes
And leaves a girl that's broken
His passion quelled
His anger gone
His little girl
Has no shoulder to cry on
Mama ignores her cries for help
Such pain most have never felt
Daddy hurts again and again
Her poor broken heart can find no friend
With the passing of time
Her pain becomes dulled
She becomes a willing victim
Her heart has been fooled
Is it too much to ask
Is it too hard to find
A pure and devoted love
Is it rare to come by
I don't ask for the world
Just a hand to hold
Through the good and the bad
My only wish is for a dad
A father
A dad
Such tormenting words
Seems so bad
Who would want one
I've seen what they are for
They take what they want
And only come back
When they want more
Love seems an empty word
A passing phrase
"I love you" He whispered
That drew her gaze
What does He want
Is what first crossed her mind
But His hand was not threatening
His face was kind
He said He loved her laugh
Kept her tears in a bottle
Gave her a hug and said
"I'm your Abba Father"
It's not too much to ask
But it is hard to find
A pure and devoted
Is rare to come by
He came to save the world
My heart to hold
He knew the only wish I had
Now I've got a dad
