My Son

This is on The Tenors' newest CD, Under One Sky. I liked the tune of it but didn't think it applied to me much because the title is My Father's Son. I was at your grave yesterday though and it was playing and I could see where it applied to you and me. Here are the lyrics.

My Father's Son

I was young when I was told
Take a chance before you're old
Live a life you're proud to share
Don't look back and don't be scared

Say your prayers and don't be late
When in doubt, just keep the faith
Learn to walk before you run
And soon you'll be a man, my son

Now I am right where I belong
I hear your voice, and I am strong
And I will carry you with me
Til journey's end, I'll always be
My father's son
My father's son

He left me lessons all around
Like keep your feet on solid ground
Let your words and honor be
The truth and strength for all the world to see

Now I am right where I belong
I hear your voice, and I am strong
And I will carry you with me
Til journey's end, I'll always be
My father's son
My father's son

Find the one, don't let her go
In your heart you'll always know
Raise your boy to love his mom
Cuz soon he'll be a man, my son

Now I am right where I belong
I hear your voice, and I am strong
And I will carry you with me
Til journey's end, I'll always be
My father's son
My father's son

I'll always be my father's son

(The part "Now I am right where I belong" I took to meant that you are where you belong now, "I hear your voice" I took to mean you could hear me singing to you there, and father could also mean Heavenly Father. Love you!)
