he came home one day
with broken ribs
his father turned to stare
but asking him to care
is like asking the air
it's obvious there's no one there
maybe he died a long time ago
he's to afraid to share
because deep down inside
he wanted him to care.
"Daddy are You with me
Daddy aré You There"
"Go away child"
And he West upstairs again
how does this story end
ask his mother
she'd still there
and on that little boys grave stone it says
"he just wanted you to care"
and while everyone was at the funeral
he just sat there in his chair
and the day he is alone
will be the day he cares
