Verse:
C F
You had the Love of a creator before I was born.
Dm F
That ultrasound was of a son to be the light of your world.
C F Dm F
October came, you were still alone.
C F
My mother just couldn't let go, but you understood.
Dm F
You even handed her the blanket that you made for me in hope,
C F Dm F
My little body would be yours to hold.
C F
You know that blanket was the blanket that kept me warm?
Dm F
I think today it's still the blanket that continues to keep me warm.
C F Dm F
Because I get cold when I think of him.
C F
But my mother's heart fell back into the hands of a man,
Dm F
The one who embraced me with Love and no questions asked.
C F Dm F
"We're all just children of God." he said.
C F
And I don't carry his blood but I know enough,
Dm F
To know that I don't need science to feel undying love.
C F Dm F
My whole life and three brothers makes me a son.
Verse:
C F
And as for you I know this is the bond we share,
Dm F
I remain right here while you're somewhere out there.
C F Dm F
But you will always be right here.
C F
The irony is in the fact that you and my old man
Dm F
Parallel in a theme too hard for me to understand.
C F Dm F
You both loved me more than my father ever did.
C F
But my mother's heart fell back into the hands of a man,
Dm F
The one who embraced me with Love and no questions asked.
C F Dm F
"We're all just children of God." he said.
C F
And I don't carry his blood but I know enough,
Dm F
To know that I don't need science to feel undying love.
C F Dm F
My whole life and three brothers makes me a son.
