One Day (My Son) Lyrics
Verse 1;
My son, my joy, my life, my boy
Time flies quick, from a cradle to your toys
Before more time flies by
I gotta teach you what I know
All the who, the what, where and why
Like Pops told me, you never really know
Until you see it thru my eyes
And even though sometimes I realize
I got so much to learn and teach ya
One day, I hope that I can reach ya
Right now, you don’t understand
But the plan is for you to grow to be a good man
And now here I am, Tryna be better than
Just another weekend dad, Tryna do as much as I can
And can’t nobody tell you what you can’t do
If you got two arms, two legs, two hands, two eyes
And a brain you can use if you choose to be wise
And you can rise, To be great!
Chorus
One day you will rise as the sun
Cause one day you know that I’ll be gone
One day you will rise as the son
Cause one day…one day… one day…
Verse 2;
Now take a look son, Cause now I’m writing for you
All the hours put in, I’m providing for you
Each smile on your face, A gift from God’s grace
An angel in the flesh so hard to replace
What can I say to make you see
You’re the reason why I live
The knowledge that I have, is all that I can give
So first you should know…
There are no guarantees in life, and so…
Missed opportunities don’t come twice
And I’m sorry if at times…
It might sound dumb
But do as I say, and not as I’ve done
And that’s the best advice I can give my son
And the rest we can learn along the way
Cause life is what you make of it
And a message is a lesson, if you take from it
So by the time I let you go, I wanna see you hit the ground runnin
And if you fall, I’ll be there and you can count on it
Chorus 2
One day you will rise as the sun
Cause one day you know that I’ll be gone
One day you will rise as the son
Cause one day…one day… one day…
