lyrics
I want you to have the confidence to follow your dreams
I want to lead you by example and give you all you need
I don’t want to let you down
and I want to show you how
to do the right thing not the wrong
this is your song, son
’cause it won’t be long, son
til I’m dead and gone, son
I want you to be the kind of man I could not be
I want you to reach the heights I could not reach
I don’t want to show my fears
and I always want you near
whatever you become is fine with me 'cause there’s nothing like having a son
I want to lead you by example and give you all you need
I don’t want to let you down
and I want to show you how
to do the right thing not the wrong
this is your song, son
’cause it won’t be long, son
til I’m dead and gone, son
I want you to be the kind of man I could not be
I want you to reach the heights I could not reach
I don’t want to show my fears
and I always want you near
whatever you become is fine with me 'cause there’s nothing like having a son
