“I'm Tonto”

He was born one of four, yet the leader.
He watched out for his siblings.
He came in through God's door a true believer.
But didn't know about the finer things.

Until he woke one day,
I heard his sweet voice say.

“I'm Tonto!” I'm Goin' Home with You Tonight.
We're Gonna Play at the Park. Run Around After Dark.
Then Eat Treats 'til the Morning Light.
Oh My God, I Love You So, “I'm Tonto!”

He was left on his own, the night rider.
Snuggled up in his bed all alone.
But he gripped to his bone, the pied piper.
He'd lour then eat you out of your home.

Until this great big day,
he rose up to say.

“I'm Tonto!” Please Take Me Home Tonight.
We're Gonna Play at the Park. Run Around After Dark.
Then Eat Treats 'til the Morning Light.
Oh My God, I Love You So, “I'm Tonto!”

Never say forever. Unless you've got God in your Heart.
'Cuz if what's in there, is cupboards cleaned bare.
Then you'll always be sent back to start.
Tonto we'll never part.

The day finally came, his true calling.
It was written even before he was born.
As I called out his name the stars were falling.
A streakin' cross was everlasting but worn.

As he looked up to say, with you I'm Okay,
and I love you Grandpa.

“I'm Tonto!” Please Take Me Home Tonight.
We're Gonna Play at the Park. Run Around After Dark.
Then Eat Treats 'til the Morning Light.
“I'm Tonto!” Please Take Me Home Tonight.
We're Gonna Play at the Park. Run Around After Dark.
Then Eat Treats 'til the Morning Light.
Oh My God, I Love You So, “I'm Tonto!”
(come on everyone)
Oh My God, I Love You So, “I'm Tonto!”
Oh My God, I Love You So, “I'm Tonto!”
