lyrics

Another sleepless night
Waiting by the porch light
"I won't be late", he vowed
Our heads in prayer are bowed

He staggers in at eight
Thank God that he stayed safe
Dad says, "I love you son,
But this life can't be fun"

A parent's prayer is a plea that echos in the night
Praying that our son won't ever give up the fight
A parent's prayer is a plea that echos in the night
Trusting that God will redeem him from the night

A text to his mom one day
Don't want to live this way
I hate who I've become
Say goodbye to your son

Mom says, "I love you so"
She prays he won't let go.
She cries out to the Lord,
"God bring him to your door"

A parent's prayer is a plea that echos in the night
Praying that our son won't ever give up the fight
A parent's prayer is a plea that echos in the night
Trusting that God will redeem him from the night

Hope this story ends well
But time will only tell
He'll get the help he needs
He'll fall down to his knees

The road to victory
Is tougher than he sees
But God will see him through
'Cause God cares for him too

A parent's prayer is a plea that echos in the night
Praying that our son won't ever give up the fight
A parent's prayer is a plea that echos in the night
Trusting that God will redeem him from the night

The road to victory
Is tougher than he sees
