Taken

You’ve been taken from me my child Though maybe it wasn’t your choice, I’d rush to fold you in my embrace If once more I’d hear your voice.

You’ve been taken from me my child And every single day, I feel salty tears slide down my cheeks As for your return I pray.

You’ve been taken from me my child Your presence I now lack, If only I could find you child I’d quickly take you back.

You’ve been taken from me my child To a land you do not know, But come to the place you do recognize Child, please come home.

You’ve been taken from me my child I’ve been alone for many years, That you will never return Is my deepest hidden fear.

You’ve been taken from me my child And you forever I will seek, I’ll cross the mightiest ocean And climb the highest mountain’s peak.

You’ve been taken from me my child And I would steal the moon, If I knew it would bring you back; I’d do anything for you.

You’ve been taken from me my child I’ve cried so many tears, Let me see you one more time Please don’t disappear.

You’ve been taken from me my child And I feel such great remorse, Would you have left, my child If I had used a little more force?

You’ve been taken from me my child When will we be together? If I could have you for but a moment I’d cherish that moment forever.

You’ve been taken from me my child And I’m being torn apart, Give me back what is rightfully mine Give me back my heart.

You’ve been taken from me my child Though we may never be together, Just know no matter what will be I will love you forever.

You’ve been taken from me my child Though my years with you were few, Know way down deep inside your heart How much I love you.
