Dear Son

Who are you gonna be
And what are you gonna see
And how many years will go by that you're not there with me
Will teardrops lead to rivers or will laughter take the pain
Did I live a life worth living, Is there pride in your father's name

Well, I hope you find a love like I found in your mama
There's never anybody below or above you
Keep your nose on the grindstone, keep your wheels on the tracks
Wherever this world takes you, we'll always take you back

Will you hold on to this world until all the spinning is done
Or will you be a fire that reignites a sun
Will it take a few wrong turns to make the wheels turn right
Or is the path straight and narrow you'll travel all your life

Well, I hope you find a love like I found in your mama
There's never anybody below or above you
Keep your nose on the grindstone, keep your wheels on the tracks
Wherever this world takes you, we'll always take you back

Your eyes hold a sea storm that could change the lives of men
And when the mirror starts to doubt you, sail against the wind
Age will give you wisdom, son. The truth always sets us free
Don't be the man that lies way down and buckles at the knees

Well, I hope you find a love like I love your mama
And there's never anybody ever below or above you
Keep your nose on the grindstone, keep your wheels on the tracks
Wherever this world takes you, we'll always take you back
