Somebody's Son

I was born a mistake, a sin they couldn't erase
A secret hidden half a century
I look for you, do I look like you?
Questions children cry out in their sleep
I'd give up every trophy that I've won just to be somebody's son

Every wrong, I did it, failures, I admit it
Consequences now belong to me
But who knew me not having you
Would force me to see love so differently?
Fighting battles, few have ever won, truly, you're somebody's son

(It makes sense) I'm running, I'm chasing, I'm falling
(It makes sense) these demons, these strongholds unbroken
(It makes sense) we're searching for a mother's love
Step two is pointless when you're stuck at one
Until you're somebody's son

(It makes sense) I'm running, I'm chasing, I'm falling
(It makes sense) these demons, those strongholds unbroken
(It makes sense) we're searching for a mother's love
Step two is pointless when you're stuck at one
Until you're somebody's son (somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody's son)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah)

(Why, oh why) did You keep them far away?
How much more do I have to pay?
(Why, oh why) You ignore the prayers I pray?
Habits come from past mistakes
With each limp, my race I have to run
But I guess so did Your son
