My Father's Son
there's a prayer hangingfrom my heart, and with an easy smileshe whispers in the windy nightand fans a glowing firei reach out in the cold and darkand press her lips to minethe promise i see in her eyesi'll understand in timeunderstand in timei built my walls up to the skywith iron all aroundand like an atom bombshe pulls it casually to the groundin the rubble down belowthere's just a quiet humand all these broken vows to jesusof who will i becomewho i will becomeoh my my my myoh now mother, mother don't you crythere ain't nothing can be donei am my father's sonnow i stumble through a lifetimeSongtextei stagger through the yearsmy ignorance is deadlymy intentions are uncleari couldn't see it coming in the anger of the nighti didn't mean to kill him but i meant for him to diei meant for him to dieoh my my my myoh now mother, mother don't you crythere ain't nothing can be donei am my father's soni've rambled on for days and nightsforever on the runi carry with me always everything i've doneeverything i've donewhen i reach the pearly gates somewhere in the cloudsi'll raise my head up to the lordi don't care what happens nowoh my my my myoh now mother, mother don't you cryoh my my my myoh now mother, mother don't you crythere ain't nothing can be donei am my father's son
