The Lost Son


Blood and tears

Have been shed

Upon the dead

If you look ahead

You would see a

Son that is now dead

For inside his life has died

For he had fought for his life

He fought for his rights

His mother is no fool

She sense the death

That has been spread

For they had stole her faith

Stolen the love of her life

She cries almost every night

Her heartbeats, her eyes see

For the man her son use to be

In any way

Or at any cost

There is no way

To replace the son

She has lost

For blood and tears

Have been spread

For the son that

Is now dead
