This my boy, he is all of me
with his black hair and his travelin feet
he will speak from his heart on the mountain side
and find a woman of fire to make his bride
she will spin and dance like his mother too
and he will hold her hand and they'll howl at the moon
there are big ideas but his are bigger too
he will stand in the wind and face the winter chill
he will grow like a tree, slow to bloom
and i will wait because he's coming home soon
i'll tell him who he is , and what it is he can become
to face the waves from the storm, he is my only son
ill teach him to fight with hands, with his stories and with his mind
show him what makes greatness and teach him the curse of time
a map to heaven , if you could just read the signs
the world is a carafe and you are the wine
to walk on water , to tremble and to shake
to weep with sorrow, salt tears to fill this lake
to pour your soul into everything you do
that the kingdom of heaven will surely find you
this is my boy, he is all of me
with his black hair and his travlin feet
