Son of Mine

First Love. Sweet Sixteen. His first gift to her. My song to him:

Oh the power to be strong,

and the wisdom to be wise.

All these things will come to you in time.

On this journey that your making

There'll be answers that you'll seek

and it's you who'll climb the mountain

It's you who'll reach the peak.

Son of mine, look to the sky

Lift your spirit, set it free

Some day you'll walk tall with pride

Son of mine, a man in time you'll be.

Though there's no one there to guide you

No one to take your hand

But with faith and understanding

You will journey from boy to man.

Son of mine, look to the sky

Lift your spirit set it free

Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of mine, a man in time you'll be.

In learning you will teach

And in teaching you will learn

You'll find your place beside the ones you love

Oh, and all the things you dream of

The visions that you saw

Well, the time is drawing near now

It's yours to claim it all

Son of mine, look to the sky

Lift your spirit, set it free

Some day you'll walk tall with pride

Son of mine, a man in time you'll be.
