From the recording TOUGH'S NOT ENOUGH
Lyrics
YOU SHOT MY SON<br />
<br />
My son had a bright and beautiful mind,<br />
But you went and put a bullet through it.<br />
You crippled him, and you left him half blind.<br />
Whatever in God’s name made you do it?<br />
Now, he’s clinging to each and every breath,<br />
Inch by inching his way back to life.<br />
Somehow, he sidestepped and cheated dark death,<br />
Somewhere back there, back there in the black night.<br />
<br />
His mom’s holding on the best that she can;<br />
I’m doing what husbands and fathers do.<br />
I’ll always be there for my brave young man,<br />
And I’ll try to stay strong for my wife too.<br />
<br />
There are no words but prayers<br />
To speak in times like these.<br />
God is always there<br />
When we’re on our knees.<br />
<br />
There might come a day<br />
When I’ll forgive what you’ve done,<br />
But not today –<br />
You shot my son.<br />
<br />
God knows what we’ve been going through;<br />
He knows the pain and the high price.<br />
I think you’re the same one<br />
Who crucified Christ -<br />
And you shot my son<br />
<br />
God and I both know you,<br />
And we know what you’ve done.<br />
You crucified Christ,<br />
And you shot my son<br />
<br />
There are no words but prayers<br />
To speak in times like these.<br />
God is always there<br />
When we’re on our knees.<br />
<br />
There might come a day<br />
When I’ll forgive what you’ve done,<br />
But not today –<br />
You shot my son.<br />
<br />
My son would like to meet you<br />
When this life is through,<br />
But he’s not going to<br />
The same place as you.<br />
<br />
There are no words but prayers<br />
To speak in times like these.<br />
God is always there<br />
When we’re on our knees.<br />
<br />
There might come a day<br />
When I’ll forgive what you’ve done,<br />
But today’s not the one –<br />
You shot my son.<br />
<br />
There might come a day<br />
When I’ll forgive what you’ve done,<br />
But not today –<br />
You shot my son.<br />
<br />
