The Good Son Songtext

von John Oates

All the tragedy that lives Inside
All the sadness that he tries to hide
Won't keep him from comin' to your defense
Even if it is at his expense

He may fall, but he will never run
He will fight your battles
One by one
He's a good son

The weight of your world - is his cross to bare
The fate of your life is in every prayer
No matter what the cost - he will pay the price
No matter what for you - ho will sacrifice

And in his eyes
Is a world of damage done
But his heart won't quit
'till your war is won
Like a good son

He was the chosen one born to win

But when it comes to blood

Dullest arrows pierce the thickest skin

And if his truth is a loaded gun
He'll take the bullet for what you have done

He's the good son
