He's My Son

[Am], [G], [D] 2x

[Am]Down on my [G]knees again [D]tonight,
[Am]I'm hopin' this p[G]rayer will turn out ri[D]ght,
[Am]See there is a b[G]oy that needs your h[D]elp,
[Am]I've done all that [G]I can do mys[D]elf,

[C]His mother is t[G]ired,
[Am]I'm sure you can u[G]nderstand,
[C]Each night as he s[G]leeps,
[C]She goes in to ho[D]ld his hand,

And she tr[C]ies[G], not to cr[D]y, [Em]
As the t[C]ea[G]rs, fill her e[D]yes

Can you he[Em]ar me?[C]
Am I ge[G]tting through to[D]night?
Can you s[Em]ee him?[C]
Can you m[G]ake him feel al[D]right?
If you can [Em]hear me,[C]
Let me ta[G]ke his place so[D]mehow,
          [Em]  [Csus4]    [D]                [Em]
S[G]ee [D]he's not just anyone, he's my son.

[Am]Sometimes late at n[G]ight I watch him sl[D]eep,
[Am]I dream of the bo[G]y he'd like to [D]be,
[Am]I try to be str[G]ong and see him thr[D]ough,
[Am]But God who he ne[G]eds right now is y[D]ou,

[C]Let him grow o[G]ld,
[Am]Live life with[G]out this fear,
[C]What would I [G]be,
[Am]Living witho[D]ut him here?

He's so tire[C]d, [G]
And he's sc[D]are[Em]d,
Let him kn[C]ow, [G]
That you are th[D]ere.

[Em]Can you hear me?[C]
Am I ge[G]tting through ton[D]ight?
[Em]Can you see him? [C]
Can you m[G]ake him feel al[D]right?
If you can h[Em]ear me, [C]
Let me t[G]ake his place so[D]mehow,
          [Em]   [Csus4]   [D]                  [Em]
[G]See[D] he's not just anyone, he's my son.

[Am]  [G]  [D]
