The Heavy Set - Always My Son Lyrics

My life changed at 21
Became a father to a son
Who showed me things I couldn't see
Brought out all the best in me

I have watched you bloom and grow
Taught you almost all I know
Watched you rise and watched you fall
Side by side, went through it all

We've only just begun
To breathe life in these lungs
When, at last, your days are done
Not my blood
Always my son

All the years go by so fast
We know now what things will last
Go out in the world and see
Just who you were meant to be

We've only just begun
To breathe life in these lungs
When, at last, your days are done
Not my blood
Always my son
Not my blood
Always my son
You have always been my son
