Dear sons These words are for you A way for me to show How much you mean to me Using the only way I know how Written on paper with blood as the ink And I remember The day you were born Was the day I was forced to become a man Still to this day, I don’t know what I'm doing But I promise I'm doing the best that I can Tell me your fears Even when you’re grown Because I will always Be around to show you love Dear Sons I wrote this song To prove how much you mean to me For all the joy your love and laughter brings Please know the world can be scary When you’re on your own I swear I'm always near your heart Even when I'm gone Dear Sons Don’t let the world break you down Run your dreams into the ground If there’s anything I’d wish for you It’s for you two to be happy And never feel the way I do Time passes so fast It almost feels like we can fly Life’s so complicated Yet we never know the reasons why Then one day it’s finally our time to die Dear Sons I’d give my life for you Cross any ocean Climb any mountain just to see you I just want you to know That you’re truly the loves of my life Dear Sons I wrote this song To prove how much you mean to me For all the joy your love and laughter brings Please know the world can be scary When you’re on your own I swear I'm always near your heart Even when I'm gone
