"Follow It Home" lyrics

Teardrops from her pretty eyes memories of they many times
Big laughter little smile tough guy got a silly side
Try to give 'em a better life kept doin' wrong couldn't get it right
Trapped inside a big mess and couldnt find the exit sight
Lost in a dark place their heart shed if life
Couldn't wave goodbye handcuffs clicked to tight
Picture by her bed tears falin' on her pillow case
Prayin' God bring him home safe

Woke up today and you were gone
Daddy where'd you go I hope your not alone
'Cause I feel so weak but you keep sayin' be strong
My heart lighfs the way you can follow it home

Phone calls and he tells her baby it's goin' be alright
She still wishin' on the first star she seen that night
'Cause it's a hard world for a young girl without no father
For some reason she can't shake all of the anger she harbors
Daddy daughter dances she still dancin' alone
'Cause all her friends are runnin' screamin' daddy come on
Feel a void in her heart piece of the puzzle is
Missin' another prayer hopin' God will just listen

Woke up today and you were gone
Daddy where'd you go I hope your not alone
'Cause I feel so weak but you keep sayin' be strong
My heart lighfs the way you can follow it home

Glimpse in to reality tears blur the visual
Loves unconditional never saw him as a criminal
Times tickin' slow as these years disappear
Be strong perserveer cant let the fear interfere
What's next is unclear but their fairytale awaits
The kingdom will be complete when the king meet the gates
Then princesses will rise wit' a smile and dry eyes
He found his way home from the sound of their cries

Woke up today and you were gone
Daddy where'd you go I hope your not alone
'Cause I feel so weak but you keep sayin' be strong
My heart lighfs the way you can follow it home
I'm forever your princess standin'
By your throne my heart lights the way
Daddy come on home
