Anthony My Son

Anthony my son
Why must it be
Lost in a world
Of fantasy
You got in a car wreck
That we know
Oh Anthony
Why is it so?

Anthony my son
Why must it be
Put it on display
For all to see
Or put it in a bag
No one will know
Oh Anthony
Why is it so?

We hope and pray
There'll be better days ahead
Mocking God in church
Another antic that I dread
Let me take you to the side
And put that fear back inside your bones
Oh Anthony my son
Please don't live this lie alone

Anthony my son
Why must it be?
Too late to find out
Too soon to see
Living in the moment
It takes it toll
A much to heavy price
For a heavy soul

Anthony my son
I do resign
A man of such deeds
Is so defined
Somewhere deep inside
The hope is there
Oh Anthony...
I'm not sure where.

male, slow grung ballad with picked guitar rhythm and a morose feel with a biting hard rock interlude anthem
