Far away a distant land a distant time
There's a boy, a little child, only nine
A loyal son, His father's cause becomes His own
And the attacks rain down on His home
Just a boy and the mother all alone
Wrongly accused the father's gone taken away
To a dungeon with no light of day
The boy is strong and He tries to carry on
His heart bleeding for His father's song
How can they do Him so wrong
How many nights, how many days
The child cries the child prays for Him to come home again
His soul's awake,
He's feeling weak His little tears stream down His cheek
But he must be strong and carry on
Far away, underground the father's torn
His heart bleeding for the love of His son
His only wish to comfort Him, and dry the tears
And to hold Him, in His arms
To shield the boy from harm
The child goes to see Him, do not bring him in here
The galling chains the sorrow and
Pain, He falls to the ground and faints
His heart would be the first to see, the change He'd recognize
A different man He'd come to serve, the light within His eyes
