lyrics

For many years I’ve hid my fears
I keep them dark, within my heart
I’ve tried to find a world of calm
Was leaving wrong
Where do we belong

Turn your back and let me be
I don’t deserve your sympathy
I turned away from everyone
Now all I have’s my only son

Keep your head up and don’t give up yet
You have friends who you haven’t met yet
The world will see you as a worthy father
The boy you cling to will become another

Don’t dwell too much on troubled times
You have your son, things will turn out fine
Turn your sadness into tears of joy and
Watch the world embrace your only boy

I had a choice, I had a voice
I could have stayed, not been afraid
The home we found came crashing down
For him I left. There’s nothing left to say

Keep your head up and don’t give up yet
You have friends who you haven’t met yet
The world will see you as a worthy father
The boy you cling to will become another

Don’t dwell too much on troubled times
You have your son, things will turn out fine
Turn your sadness into tears of joy and
Watch the world embrace your only boy
