Her Wish, My Blessing
When I carried you inside me I longed for a baby son.
My prayers were answered, my son, my one and only one,
They laid you in my arms, and I knew right away
That the love you and I would share
Would be wonderful and beyond compare.
You were the image of your dad,
So I knew you would be a handsome lad.
He was your idol when you were small.
He was your hero and you were his all.
You really were your dad's lad.
The years they flew by,
I watched you grow
From a little wee lad to a man strong and tall.
There were many times when the things that you did
Left me weary and sad and wanting to cry.
I despaired of you then, but you turned your life 'round.
You became the man of whom I am proud.
Now you're a man with boys of your own.
You can feel the joy of loving a child,
And how deep that love goes.
Now you know how I feel when I look at you,
My son, my one and only one

Look deeply in my eyes, my son
And listen to my voice
Please don't be a hostage
And know you have a choice
Can't you see you're better off
Without chains around your feet?
Don't you see how she delights
In your anguish and defeat?
Can you ever love someone
Who you can never trust?
These things, please ask yourself
This truly is a must
Do you like being deserted
Just when you least expect?
Has she taken all your pride away?
Have you lost your self-respect?
Do you like being cheated on?
Mistreated and ignored
By someone who deceived you
That someone you adored?
Please listen to me carefully
Turn your back and run!
True love is nearer than you think
Believe me...my dear son.
