lyrics

Say a prayer tonight for the sons and the daughters
The ones who never came home
The lost, the forsaken, the souls that were taken
Too soon and will never grow old
The lost, the forsaken, the souls that were taken
Too soon and will never grow old

Son, my son it's your face I see
when I close my eyes each night
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
If I could I'd trade your life for mine x2

Say a prayer tonight for the sons and the daughters
The ones who never came home
The lost, the forsaken, the souls that were taken
Too soon and will never grow old
The lost, the forsaken, the souls that were taken
Too soon and will never grow old

Daughter, my daughter it's your voice I hear
Echo inside of my own
Flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood
losing you turned my heart to stone x2

So, say a prayer tonight for the sons and the daughters
The ones who never came home
The lost, the forsaken, the souls that were taken
Too soon and will never grow old
The lost, the forsaken, the souls that were taken
Too soon and will never grow old

I wait for the day when I'll see you again
My sorrow constant and cold
Soon I'll return to the house of our father
A place where we'll never grow old
Soon I'll return to the house of our father
A place where we'll never grow old

Fast forward to 2020. Sterling digs even deeper in the creative dirt for Dark Horses: The Acoustic Sessions. A sparse collection – one guitar/one voice. ... more
