If Only…

If only I could be the light,

And be inside your head;

I’d be damn sure to make it right,

And take the pain instead.

I’d show you that the world is yours,

I’d show you how to smile;

I’d take away the slamming doors,

I’d go the extra mile.

If only I could make you see,

The happiness you bring;

How you are the world to me,

How you make me sing.

Growing up is hard to do ,

I really understand;

How difficult it is for you,

To grow to be a man.

Please be strong, you’ll get along,

I’ll help you make it through;

Sometimes it’s right, sometimes it’s wrong,

There’s nothing you can do.

In the end, this too shall pass,

That’s what they always say;

Then you can pass this message on,

To your young son someday.
