John Oates - The Good Son lyrics

All the tragedy that lives Inside All the sadness that he tries to hide Won't keep him from comin' to your defense Even if it is at his expense He may fall, but he will never run He will fight your battles One by one He's a good son The weight of your world - is his cross to bare The fate of your life is in every prayer No matter what the cost - he will pay the price No matter what for you - ho will sacrifice And in his eyes Is a world of damage done But his heart won't quit 'till your war is won Like a good son He was the chosen one born to win But when it comes to blood Dullest arrows pierce the thickest skin And if his truth is a loaded gun He'll take the bullet for what you have done He's the good son
