Lyrics:

My Son

He came into her life one day
A healthy baby boy
His tiny hands and gentle smile
Became her pride and joy
She brought him home that winters day
And rocked him in her chair
Then softly whispered in his ear
This heartfelt solemn prayer:

(Chorus)
Lord, forgive me
For any wrongs Ive done
Lead me with your guiding hand
And help me raise my son
I know that I may stumble
And trip along the way
But Ill never turn my back on you
Or what youve given me today

She married young with hopes and dreams
Like many lovers start
But time would show them different roads
And so they grew apart
He came to her a young man now
Said, Help me understand
She looked into his tearful eyes
Then took him by the hand
And she said


(repete chorus)


(Bridge)
Please believe me, son
You are not to blame
Sometimes its just the way things go
But even when the sun wont shine
I love you just the same
Till the day that I draw my last breath
That will never change

Many years have come and gone
And lifes fulfilled its plan
She watched her healthy baby boy
Grow into a man
Her humbled heart and gentle soul
Were thankful for that day
She closed her eyes and bowed her head
And said this as she prayed:

(Final Chorus)
You forgave me
For all the wrongs Ive done
You lead me with your guiding hand
And helped me raise my son
And even though I stumbled
And tripped along the way
You never turned your back on me
Or what you gave to me that day!
