To the Son I Never Had

Where do you hide, when it's hard to bear?
Perhaps out of sight, away from reality
Listen boy, don't let them kill your dreams
And when they laugh at you ignore them
It's a simple lack of imagination

Look at me, I'm old enough to tell you
That the road you're on will take you exactly
Where you want to be, right or wrong
Fate is just a word
The story is yours now play the starring role

Don't change your mind but
Please don't be blind
Coherence and intelligence sometimes collide
Listen boy, learn to forgive yourself
And anyone else who hurts you
Rancor and sense of guilt
Are poison for heart and soul

Look at me, I'm old enough to tell you
That the road you're on will take you exactly
Where you want to be, right or wrong
Fate is just a word
The story is yours now play the starring role

My son I will be always by your side
Even in your darkest nights

Look at me, I'm old enough to tell you
That the road you're on will take you exactly
Where you want to be, right or wrong
Fate is just a word
The story is yours now play the starring role
But don't leave behind respect and dignity
Don't forget your roots
But use your wings to fly in your future sky
