my son

Lyrics

and with his first breath, his mother died, i alone was there, to hear him cry, this way my only child, my son, sarah chose his name, twas benjamin, my son, red was his hair, and green his eyes, looking up at dad, three times his size, first day of grade school, i walked him there, looking through the tears, of pride, i stare at my son, i was his father, his closest friend, now our house was blessed, with two grown men, at twenty he told me, that he could see, how i tried to be, a family, for my son, oh, how i miss him, here with me, reminiscing how it used to be, here in my hand, they gave to me, medals my boy won, for bravery, my son, oh, oh, ho, my son
