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
