My Son

I've walked through every desert, in the rain
I've climbed the mighty mountains, in the plains
I've seen palaces, with rows of marble tiles
An' I've rode my horse, a-many thousand miles
I've sailed, from sea to shinin' sea-eeee
An' I've seen everythin' there is to see my son

I've crossed a million bridges in my time
I've heard, every rhythm an' every rhyme
I've seen lots of young men bleedin' on the shore
An' I've seen millions by the day at my door
I've sailed, from sea to shinin' sea-eeee
An' I've seen everythin' there is to see my son

I member' when they nailed you to the cross
I remember when Moses came across
I put Adam in the garden, there with Eve
An' the devil in a place he cannot leave
I've sailed, from sea to shinin' sea-eeee
An' I've seen everythin' there is to see my son

Now, I see you all fightin' down below
An' heaven is a place you'll never know
Almost gone now is the world I gave to you
Yes, now it's col' an' it's tired, sad an' blue
I've sailed, from sea to shinin' sea-eeee
Now I've seen everythin' I wanna' see my son
