Send a fool into the world and then you cry for him
A tear, tender tear, to keep him on his way
Put a crown on his head a bed to lay upon
Glory simple glory to guide him on his path
Turn a child into a man and then you weep for him
A bond common bond to bind his heart and soul
Take a look at all that's here and hope to learn from it
A fear, reckless fear, to keep the night away
From father to son you know it by name, a soul journey
Like a river that flows to the edge of your mind, a life story
A silence so strong, where your heart won't go, a storm warning
You see it's so clear, for every son of a son, come on child
Take a soul journey
Light a candle in the dark so he can find his way
Breath, gentle breath, to keep his dreams alive
Look into his world it's all he has for now
A thought, precious thought, to keep his fears away
Put his heart upon his sleeve so he can feel the pain
Notion bad notion to keep his mind at ease
Turn a man into a child and then you cheer for him, freedom
Sweet freedom to keep him safe and warm
