Beside your bed I stand so still
A world of silence a heart to fill
Your breaths are soft your eyes are closed
In dreams you wander a path unposed
Dad can you hear my whispered plea?
A child's heart hoping praying you'll see
Each memory a beacon a light so pure
Guiding me through making me sure
I remember your laughter your tender embrace
The strength of your arms the warmth of your face
You taught me to dream to soar to fight
In your shadow I found my own light
Now I kneel and clasp my hands
Begging for miracles from far-off lands
A prayer escapes a tear does fall
In this sterile room I give my all
Wake up Dad and come back home
Don't leave us here lost and alone
Your chair is waiting your place set near
Your family needs you we need you here
In the silence a promise I make
To be brave and strong for your sake
But please dear father don't let go
In your love I've come to know
Come back to us from dreams' embrace
Let us again see your smiling face
In your arms I wish to lay
Hoping you'll wake come back and stay
For in my heart your love resides
Guiding me through the ebbing tides
Father my hero my guiding star
Come back to us wherever you are
