Bryan Duncan - Every Father Is A Son lyrics

rate me

Money don’t grow on trees now son

Be careful about how you spend

It’s one of the many things you’d say

When I was just nine or ten

Not gonna tell you twice

Before you’d explain again

And this would hurt me

More then it hurts you

I’d never believe that then

And I see in you father

I know the father son

The man who learns before me

How the race is run

I fix my gaze upon you

No seldom my two eyes

You’re just behind my shoulder

So just mean what I try

You thought you knew it all too soon

Scared me to watch you grow

Hurt even more to see in you

Myself before all I know

Don’t have to do what you say you’d say

I can do this all by myself

Come back to ask me anyway

When you knew you needed help

And I see every father

The proudest for the son

The man who runs before me

A torch to carry on

I fix my gaze upon you

Praying as you go

For now the father’s blessing

And future seeds to sow

Every father is a son

Every son only one father

See the man I must become

When I see myself in you

Breathing life and passing on

Hard the love before they started

Blessed be the ties that bind

Between a father and a son.

And I see every father

And I see as a son

The man who runs before me

A torch to carry on

I fix my gaze upon you

The race we both must run

So little time together

As father and a son

This precious time together

As a father and a son.
