MY BOY Songtext
von Jon Bellion

Stay young
Stay small, my boy
Fit inside these arms forever ′cause the world's not all it′s cracked up to
Be
(Be)
I sigh
I cry, my boy
Soon you'll see the world is not this room and I can't keep you from the pain that you′ll have to
See
(See)


Lord, it′s tough to hold my son and be here in the moment
I need to keep him safe tell me which direction this world is goin'
I feel ashamed for my lack of faith when you walked the ocean
Eve bit the apple my faith is weak and my trust is broken
There′s things that I can't keep him from
Like the loneliness you feel in the realizations of growing up
Like a best friend at his mother′s bedside while she passes from the leukemia
Like a coach about to die asking why he's gotta leave his son
I hate the weakness of owning up to the sins of past
I hate the weakness of givin′ up what I used to have
I hate the weakness of showin' my son what makes me sad
He said a present father is worth way more than a perfect dad

Stay young
Stay small, my boy
Fit inside these arms forever 'cause the world′s not all it′s cracked up to
Be
(Be)
I sigh
I cry, my boy
Soon you'll see the world is not this room and I can′t keep you from the pain that you'll have to
See
(see)

Stay young
