Mama will hold me Lyrics

Daddy didn't come home last night
And he won't be back next year
There's an empty place at our table now
And our eyes are wet with tears
How could I have known what will happen that day
When our nation's freedom was ?..
A hateful act brought our buildings down
And innocent people died

Oh lord I miss my daddy
Keep him save for me
Hold him in your arms tonight
And mama will hold me

When he waved goodbye I never thought
That's the last of him I'd see
And when he drove away to work that day
My dad was leaving me

Oh lord I love my daddy
Keep him save for me
Hold him in your arms tonight
And mama will hold me

Later on he called my mother
Said his last goodbye
He told her that he loved her
And she began to cry

And now some say daddy's gone
I know he's right here
Watching over all of us
And we've no need to fear

Oh lord I miss my daddy
Keep him save for me
Hold him in your arms tonight
And mama will hold me

Oh lord I love my daddy
Keep him save for me
Hold him in your arms tonight
And mama will hold me
