Anthony's Song

They made a mistake twenty two years ago on that fateful day
They would never feel the heartache or the pain
With you away

A mother who showed us all through faith and love she helped us all be strong
And every day she prayed for the son who was betrayed
And now he’s home

The father knew they were wrong long overdue we sing Anthony’s song
The father told the judge that it’s all just so unjust
It’s not my son

While you were away in our hearts is where you always stayed
There were many tears that were shed throughout the years
But now they’re gone

We all owe you a debt of sincere gratitude
Anthony you showed us how to live and forgive
In this world

You will always be in a place where you will stay safe and free
Everywhere you go stay on that yellow brick road
It leads you home
