My Son
Copyright Stan Loh January 1, 2012
Verse 1
My son, this world ain’t fair,
You’re not born a millionaire,
You’ll compete at every stage,
So go on wherever you wish to go,
And do what you wish to do,
But I’ll stand by with some wisdom for you.
Verse 2
My son, this world ain’t safe,
Where there’s darkness there lies evil,
So look out there with eyes wide open,
To judge each step along the way,
And sometimes it hurts to pay,
When sure bets don’t fall the right way,
Chorus
Don’t forget to be prepared,
Go over a hundred times,
When you’re down, you must get up,
To climb that mountain high,
Bridge
You are my son, I love you son,
Music Interlude
Verse 3
You’re my life, you are my blood,
And my love looks out for you,
But when I’m gone, you must remember,
If you don’t fall, you never tried,
So get up, and do not hide,
Cause that is how, you regain your pride.
(Repeat Chorus)
