Daddy, something’s wrong with mommy today
Daddy, she sounds like she’s really mad
Daddy, mommy’s been drinking a lot lately
Daddy, why is mommy treating me so bad

Daddy, something bad happened today
Daddy, mommy got real drunk
Daddy, mommy wasn’t sober enough to think
And Daddy, mommy pushed me until I fell off my top bunk

Daddy, mommy broke my arm today
And Daddy, now it’s in a cast
Daddy, if you would just help me
Daddy, this could all be left in the past

Daddy, mommy made my nose bleed today
But Daddy, that wasn’t the worst part
Because even though it hurt a lot, Daddy
It’s what mommy did to cause this pain,
that’s deep within my heart

Daddy, mommy burnt my arm today
And Daddy, now it’s all a mess
Daddy, why won’t you help me
Daddy, why don’t you please confess

Daddy, mommy said I was a bad boy today
Daddy, she said I needed a punishment bad
So Daddy, mommy starved me for 8 days
Daddy, I don’t understand what I did to make mommy feel so mad

Daddy, mommy beat me today
Until Daddy, I couldn’t even stand
Daddy, this pain is cutting through my heart
Daddy, why won’t you lend me a helping hand

Daddy, today was really bad
Daddy, it was one of the worst
Cause Daddy, mommy feed to me,
The food that I had to vomit up first

Daddy, mommy choked me today
Daddy, she gripped my neck real hard
Daddy, I wanted to slip away
Daddy, why should I feel like I have to keep up my guard

Daddy, why does mommy hate me so
Daddy, I don’t understand
Daddy, I feel like I’m slipping and sinking so low
Daddy, try and catch me if you can

Daddy, mommy stabbed me today
Daddy, the blood soaked through my shirt
Daddy, it left a red stain near my heart
Daddy, please help me cause it really did hurt

Daddy, I think that something’s wrong with me
Daddy, I’m feeling a little faint
Daddy, I think I need to sit down
Daddy, I’ll try to be good and sit still, as if I was a saint

Daddy, I think mommy stabbed me too deep
Daddy, to the hospital I might need to go
Daddy, why are you just standing there
Daddy, my heart’s beat feels very slow

Daddy, I’m lying in a pool
Surrounded by my own blood
Daddy, tell mommy I’m sorry
Daddy, I’m sorry I was such a bad son

Daddy, my body is fading
And Daddy, I feel myself about to go
Daddy, the pain hurts so badly
Daddy, I’ve sunken down so low

Daddy, my body is dying
Daddy, I hope the end comes soon
Daddy, please stop crying
Daddy, please sing to me a tune

Daddy, I never got to say good bye
Daddy, I went away real slow
Daddy, I wish that you would hold me
Daddy, I wish that you would let me know

Daddy, the pain is finally disappearing
Daddy, my body is growing numb
Daddy, I have to say goodbye now
And Daddy, I wish that you could come

Daddy, I think I’m going now
Daddy, my world is turning black
Daddy, my body feels real cold now
Daddy, I’m dead, and I won’t be coming back

Daddy, why did this happen
Daddy, I just don’t understand
Daddy, I thought you loved me
So Daddy, why didn’t you stand up to her like a man

Daddy, why did you stand there
And let mommy carry on
And Daddy, why did you let her strip you of your pride
Until Daddy, all of it was all gone

Daddy, I hope I can make it to Heaven
Cause Daddy, I don’t want to go to Hell
Daddy, I wish you could help me
Cause Daddy, I just wanted all to be well

Daddy, I think I can see God now
Daddy, He’s calling me home
Daddy, I don’t want to leave you
But Daddy, on this earth I can no longer roam

Daddy, all my pain is gone now
And Daddy I feel so alive
Daddy, God is watching me
Daddy, today is my birthday,
and I would have turned five

Daddy, life is precious
And Daddy, the pain will go away
Daddy, live it to its fullest
Daddy, I’ll see you again someday

Daddy, I know I can forgive you
Daddy, I think I understand it all now
Daddy, you have to go on with your life
And Daddy, I don’t know if I can tell you how

Daddy, I wish you could see me
Cause Daddy, you look so down and low
Daddy, you know I loved you
Daddy, I admired you, and just wanted you to know

Daddy, please don’t cry
Cause Daddy, none of it was your fault
Daddy, mommy was sick inside
Daddy, don’t bury yourself within a darkened vault

Daddy, I know how scared she made you feel
And Daddy, how your feelings went so low
Daddy, I understand and forgive you
Daddy, don’t be a prisoner of your own pity and woe

Daddy, look out for my brudder
Cause Daddy, I don’t want her to hurt him too
Daddy, keep him safe and protected
Daddy, please keep him hidden from her view

Daddy, take him away from her
Daddy, just walk away right now
Daddy, don’t let the same thing happen to him
Daddy, please make me this solemn vow

Daddy, please just go on out the door
Daddy, lock and throw away the key
Daddy, leave the past behind
Daddy, do it for him………if not for me

Daddy, hold him tightly to you
Daddy, for me keep him close
Daddy, don’t let him slip away
Daddy, don’t let him become a ghost

Daddy, you can save him now
Daddy, just take that one last step
Daddy, you’re almost out the door
Daddy, please hurry up,
because mommy’s getting upset

Daddy, keep on going
Daddy, you’re doing it all so well
Daddy, I’m really proud of you
Daddy, you got him out of that hell

Daddy, everything will be ok now
And daddy, my brudder will be fine
Daddy, I know you’ll take good care of him
Daddy, God is sending you a sign

Daddy, it’s time that I leave you now
Daddy, on this earth I’ve accomplished my goal
Daddy, I wish to say goodbye and I love you
Daddy, now it’s time for me to rest my eternal soul
