My sweet Baby Boy, What has the one above done
You'll raise two fingers up to the world, cause you ain't got another one
Deep down inside of me, I try to understand
Why you have been denied, your little right hand
Come take mine, and with my other good hand, I will wade your way
Try to close your mind off, to what other people may say
Cause what you don't know, Ignorance is at play
Oh, I try to guide you on through, Keep you standin up straight and pick you up when you feel blue
Try to show you right from wrong, Ill always try to be there for you
When you came into my life, you made it oh so true... so true
Though your mind, it seems clear, I know life for you, May get hard
You'll start to realize your unique, to other kids in your school yard
Good lord, shame on you, while I still try to understand
How could you take away, my sons right hand
Matthew, come take mine, and with my other good hand, I will wade your way
Try to close your mind off, to what other people may say
Cause what you don't know, Ignorance is at play
Try to guide you on through, Keep you standin up straight and pick you up when you feel blue
Try to show you right from wrong, Ill always try to be there for you
When you came into my life, you made it oh so true... Oh so true
Come take mine, with my other good hand, I will wade your way
Try to close your mind off, to what other people may say
Cause what you don't know, Ignorance is at play
Ignorance will be at play...
