You Can't Have Him

You won't take this precious son of mine
You dark and twisted soul
You have hurt us so very many times
Trying to keep us from being whole

You snicker at us from where you are
You think you still can win
You take pleasure in our pain, our scars
Trying to take us down again

You won't take this precious son of mine
You have hurt him it is true
You have hurt his sister and myself
But he will never be like you

You may have caused him to act out
You caused him to be confused
You left your mark, there is no doubt
But, you see, he's better than you

You won't take this precious son of mine
You could never understand
You don't get how a mother's love
Can give him strength to make a stand

Together, he and I will win
This war you make us fight
For God is our strength until the end
Our Hope, our Peace, our Light
