These words I give to you

When you feel the cold night closing in

My native son

These wounds I'll heal for you

When you feel the thorns that pierce your skin

I feel your hurt

This world can be cold

But this is all we have

I'm talking to you, my native son

When the day has overcome you

When the taste won't go away

You're a child of creation

And you were made this way

The blackness close behind you

And with wickedness coming fast

You're a child of creation

All this will pass

You walk your path

This cold that bites your skin

Yeah, it cuts like knives into your heart

Forever winter

These names that break you

We all have a side to us that can turn

Just watch me break

This world can be cruel

But this is all we have

I'm talking to you, my native son

When the day has overcome you

When the taste won't go away

You're a child of creation

And you were made this way

The blackness close behind you

And with wickedness coming fast

You're a child of creation

All this will pass

You walk your path

Don't be afraid to walk in the footprints

Where others failed

Strangers surround you, taunt and betray you

Bring you down

These are the free words, these are the true words

I give to you

Just walk in the footprints, don't be afraid

To stand your ground, my son

This world can be cruel

But this is all we have

I'm talking to you, my native son

When the taste has overcome you

When the pain won't go away

You're a child of creation

And you were made this way

And with blackness close behind you

And with wickedness coming fast

You're a child of creation

All this will pass

You walk your path
