John Oates - The Good Son

Copied!

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
