Heart of a Child

Put down that gun boy
Don't blow your life away
We're gonna need you
Make it through the day

They put it to you
They put it in your head
Made you believe that
You'd be better off dead

But don't break the heart of your child
Don't let the fear drive you wild

We lost the love of a
Man I was proud to know
They locked you down boy
Made you grieve alone

Turn off the TV
Throw your phone away
Don't you remember
What your daddy used to say

Don't break the heart of your child
Don't let your fear drive you wild

The pain you're feeling
Cuts me to the bone
I'm right there with you boy
You'll never be alone

There's someone else here
Someone who can't complain
She don't know if you'll be
Coming home again

Don't break the heart of this child
Don't let your tears drive you wild (oh Lord)
Don't break the heart of your child
Don't let your tears drive you wild

Don't break the heart of your child
Don't let the fear drive you wild
