Testo di MY BOY

Stay young Stay small, my boy Fit inside these arms forever 'cause the world's not all it's cracked up to Be (Be) I sigh I cry, my boy Soon you'll see the world is not this room And I can't keep you from the pain that you'll have to See (See) Lord, it's tough to hold my son and be here in the moment I need to keep him safe tell me which direction this world is goin' I feel ashamed for my lack of faith when you walked the ocean Eve bit the apple my faith is weak and my trust is broken There's things that I can't keep him from Like the loneliness you feel in the realizations of growing up Like a best friend at his mother's bedside while she passes from the leukemia Like a coach about to die asking you why he's got to leave his son I hate the weakness of owning up to the sins of past I hate the weakness of givin' up what I used to have I hate the weakness of showin' my son what makes me sad He said a present father is worth way more than a perfect dad Stay young Stay small, my boy Fit inside these arms forever 'cause the world's not all it's cracked up to Be (Be) I sigh I cry, my boy Soon you'll see the world is not this room And I can't keep you from the pain that you'll have to See (See) Stay young
