lyrics

If I had a son
Would he be overcome from the challenge
The pendulum swings
I would explain the sun and the rain
Harmony, a humble between

Son understand
Not a woman or a man
Has made it out of this place alive
Some have been blessed
Some have much to confess
Some are dead before they’ve died

Gentle heart you’re lovely
A white rose lit up by the moonlight
Gentle heart you’ve got your whole life
You’re going to be alright

You may make more mistakes
Before you’re lying under the ground
A whole lot of people have it a whole lot worse
Remember, there will be days when you’re down

Son, it never easy
When you feel you ship is sinking
If you’re losing grip
Rock with the tides
You may lose more than you bargained for
But you’ll never win if you never try

And son, there may come a day
When everything’s wrong
And you just don’t belong
Remember these words I’m saying to you
Sometimes we fall so hard
Before we ever break through

When you find a friend
Love them up until the end
They save you when you’re in lost and found
When you can’t bear the stare of familiar eyes
You’re never a failure in mine

When there’s nothing left to lose
Nothing left to choose
Go ahead, pull the chute
Learn how to fly
You may be the story of a thousand defeats
Before the summit is climbed
