He Could Be a Star

I couldn't take it anymore, son It was tearing me apart We're lost, we're finished man, we're through I need to give the kid a future I need to look him in the eye Believe me son I'd do the same for you You can't give in now, Dad We've all been out a year I can never talk to you again You can't do this to me Dad You can't do it to yourself He's just a kid, he's only just a bairn But he could be a star for all we know We don't know how far he can go And no one else can give what I can give No one else can give what I can give He could go and he could shine Not just stay here counting time Son, we've got the chance to let him live Yes, we've got the chance to let him live This isn't about us, Dad It's not about a kid It's all of us, it's everybody's chance It's everybody's future It's everybody's past It's not about a bairn who wants to dance It's about our history It's about our rights Think about the sacrifice we've made It's what you've always taught us (I know, son) Since I was a lad (I know, son) Then please, Dad, don't let that passion fade He could be a star for all we know We don't know how far he can go And no one else can give what I can give No one else can give what I can give We're all in this together Jack There is another way All for one, and one for all Take this and this And this and this And this and this And this and this Don't worry, lad, we'll never let you fall 'Cause he could be a star for all we know We don't know how far he can go But we'll give all that we can give We'll all give all that we can give (We will go and we will shine) (We will go and seize the time) (We will all have pride in how we live) (We will all have pride in how we live) We will always stand together Through the dark, right through the storm We will stand shoulder to shoulder To keep us warm
