lyrics

Verse 1
Everything I’ve done my son I’ve done for you because one day you will grow
Everything I’ve got I’ve given freely from my whole and loving soul
I pray for love my son I pray for you
Because one day you will go and leave our loving home

Chorus
Well the world can be cruel but you don’t have to, be cruel
You don’t have to, be cruel
You don’t have to, be cruel
Well the world can be cold, so take your jacket

Verse 2
I can see your keen and interested in life so get out there and learn
Get into the garden son get in the dirt, oops I think you ate a worm
I can see the stars are shining in your eyes
And like the sun I know you burn because you shine with every turn

Verse 3
Sitting in the darkened corner of your room, I watch you as you sleep
Looking so peaceful and so serene, as you’re laying in the sheets
Well this is my attempt my son to explain to you
That every word of this is true, that I’m singing in this tune
