What Do You Tell Such a Son
What do you tell a son
who leaves for a far-away place
To build a life with his new wife
to carve out space to run his race
What do you tell such a son
What do you tell a son
You love too much to hold back
Yet try to tell him that
and your voice just cracks
What do you tell such a son
What do you tell a son
who's made big plans
in whose happiness way
you never would stand
What do you tell such a son...
What do you tell a son
who comes crawling back home
on his hands and his knees
who says, "I failed, Dad.
Forgive me, please."
