You said you'd never leave me
You said you'd always stay
But on that night you left me
I remember all that happened
On that very day
Everything was blurry
A thick black haze
You said you'd never leave me
Till that very day
Everything changed
The night that they took over
They took you away
Kidnaped
Tortured
Maybe even left for dead
My child
Our child
Will never get to see
How brave a man her daddy was
Or who he used to be
She will never know the joy of his open loving arms
She will never know the sacrifice that left our family scared
Even though she never met him
Nor let the daylight grace her eyes
She will grow to love
Fatherless would she be
Fatherless that is she
Never having met him
Nor spoken her first words
A daughter needs her father
That's what I always heard
