My Son

When Billy had just turned eight He was all alone in a boat By his house on the lake He laid back as he closed his eyes And he drifted off to sleep He awoke to the sound of crashing waves His boat was a million miles away And just when he thought he'd seen the end He heard his father's voice again, he said... Son just take my hand Rest your feet on solid land Keep your eyes laid on me Don't be swayed by the sea And I will lead you home You know that I live for You But sometimes I get caught in the storm And I fall You know when I'm in that boat And the world comes seeping in Sometimes I start sinking in the sea Sometimes I'm in way too deep for me Sometimes when I'm crying out for fear I hear You whisper in my ear, You say... Son just take my hand Rest your feet on solid land Keep your eyes laid on me Don't be swayed by the sea And I will lead you home
