Do you have to hit so hard?    Or even hit at all?    He is your one and only son       Too many years gone by    Filled with hate and neglect    There has been too much damage done       Too many late nights spent    Out drinking with your friends    He was too scared to make a stand       Everything was his fault    You disciplined with your fists    Does it make you feel like a man?       These scars will never go away    In time they cannot heal    Scarred for life he'll never forgive you    For the pain you've made him feel       The last time you came home    Drunk and ready to strike    There was a big surprise in store       He struck you with a baseball bat    He ignored your cries for help    Dead, you cannot hurt him anymore       These scars will never go away    In time they cannot heal    Scarred for life he'll never forgive you    For the pain you've made him feel
