Joshua Kadison - My Father's Son Lyrics
The moon aint made of cheese youd saySo find your own truths along the wayBut Santa Claus and his magic sleighHad to be you in the rain that dayThe Super Heroes on TVSaturdays wed pretend to beYoud say: Boys, well it seems to meYoure the best heroes this world will ever seeYoure the best heroes this world will ever seeAnd after all is said and doneAnd my battles for independence wonIm proud to say that Im my fathers sonAnd after all is said and doneAnd my battles for independence wonHear me you old sly son-of-a-gunIm proud to say that Im my fathers sonA fool thinks he aint bought and soldCause every man sells a bit of his soulTo bring his family home some goldBefore he knows hes gotten holdYou boys are not baseball starsYou never got that fleet of fancy carsAnd Mama left you for the distant starsBut you never showed your battle scarsYou never did like to show your battle scarsAnd after all is said and doneAnd my battles for independence wonIm proud to say that Im my fathers sonAnd after all is said and doneAnd my battles for independence wonHear me you old sly son-of-a-gunIm proud to say that Im my fathers sonYou made mistakes, but you made em wellYou got up each time you fellYou paid your price and you lived some hellBut didnt it make for tales to tellWe learned to laugh, we learned to bendWe learned the lessons never endAnd Im the luckiest fool whos beenTo be your son and to get to call you friendTo get to be your son and to call you my best friendAnd after all is said and doneAnd my battles for independence wonIm proud to say that Im my fathers sonAnd after all is said and doneAnd my battles for independence wonHear me you old sly son-of-a-gunIm proud to say that Im my fathers sonIm proud to say that Im my fathers son
