Song For My Son

My blue-eyed son, don't go to war
This land is for dreamers, look around, you will see
My blue-eyed boy, you won the game
Did you hear the crows cheer, when your foot hit the plate

My baby child, love family
Work hard in school, and take the reward it pays
My junior son, sit by my side
Here is what you call a major league baseball game

There's a big ship and she crosses the ocean's waves
There are many here among us, on this bright shining day
They say we can venture towards a new life
Make way for the new world, friend or foe, virtue and vice

American boy, you've come of age
Like tea leaves brewing the waters of the old Boston Bay
My latest child, you'll always be
Once upon a time, the immigrant man, the migrant me

There's a big ship and she crosses the ocean's waves
There are many here among us, on this bright shining day
They say we can venture towards a new life
Make way for the new world, friend or foe, virtue and vice

There's a big ship and she crosses the ocean's waves
Uhhh
They say we can venture towards a new life
Uhh
