Gordon Mote - A Son Of My Own lyrics

VERSE Riding through the yard Upon a pony with wings He tells the wind when to blow The birds when to sing And when he's tuckered out He curls up here next to me He is the prince of the world And I'm the king CHORUS So I could never love the world like you do Lord I've seen how much it costs you and I know That I could never love the world like you do Lord Since I had a son of my own VERSE Sunlight flies through time and space To rest in his hair He has a smudge on his cheek But why should he care All the meanest dinosaurs Are tied up with string He tells them He's not afraid of anything CHORUS BRIDGE Yes the world is hurting And cannot find peace And millions of people Are lost and in need But I'd lock him away And sing let him be That's just what I'd do If it was all up to me VERSE But someday soon he'll choose What kind of life he will make He'll have to follow his heart And I'll need you that day Promise me you'll teach me how I'll ever let go Now that I have A son of my own A son of my own No I could never love the world like you do Lord Since I've had a son 'Cause you gave me a son And now I have a son of my own
