MY SON
Author: L.Reed/Roberts
Copyright: D.J.M. Music

My son, you were the seed of life in me,
And now I can't believe the man I see.
With pride, I watched you grow up.
You wanted so much to change the world for me.

My son, you gave my simple life its key.
Through you, I see God's love and mystery.
You build up my life with your sweet music.
It's written in the song; this melody belongs
To you and me, my son.

My son, I taught you everything I know,
For soon one day, I'll have to let you go.
I would gladly die, if it saved you from the heartache,
The fear and all the bad breaks
That tear your world apart.

My son, you faced the truth and you stood tall,
But now we face the hardest truth of all.
I must say goodbye, but you must go on living,
And when my life is through, I'll always be with you,
My one and only son.

I watch you now with pride.
What more is there to life
Than you and me, my son?
