My Boy (Can You Hear Me) Lyrics

The silence echoes louder than my cries

I see your face each time I close my eyes

They took you from me, but they can't take my love

I send my prayers to the skies above

Can you hear me? Oh, my son

Through the dark, where shadows run

I'm calling, I'm breaking, I'm barely alive

But I'll fight every battle to keep you in sight

Can you hear me? I pray you can hear me

Through the distance, through the pain, through the fear

Let me see you, just one more time

To hold your heart in these arms of mine

I still hear your laughter in the wind

A melody of the boy you've always been

I count the stars, I scream your name

This broken world will never be the same

Can you hear me? Oh, my son

I won't stop until this war is won

The chains they've bound can never bind

The love that echoes in this heart of mine

Can you hear me? I pray you can hear me

Through the distance, through the pain, through the fear

Let me see you, just one more time

To hold your heart in these arms of mine

I'd walk through fire, I'd tear down walls

I'd give my soul to hear your calls

No force on earth could keep me away

I'll find you, my boy, come what may

Can you hear me? I pray you can hear me

Through the distance, through the pain, through the fear

Let me see you, just one more time

To hold your heart in these arms of mine

So I'll keep calling, until you're near

My love will guide you, wipe every tear
