For my son David on his 21st Birthday

Verse
This is a song that I wrote for my son
To be sung on the day that he turned twenty one
A man in every way, my son

I’ve been so proud of him since the day he was born
He made me feel like my soul was reborn
He’s so special to me, my son

Chorus
He’s grown up so big and so strong and so smart
So loving and gentle, he just warms your heart
I love him so much and here’s the best part
He’s my son, he’s my son!
 
Verse
Life hasn’t been easy the last couple years
With heartache and turmoil, confusion and tears
But you’ve always been there for me, my son

Yours is a story that’s only begun
I know you’ll do more than I’ve ever done
You’ll capture the sun and the moon, my son

Chorus
He’s grown up so big and so strong and so smart
So loving and gentle, he just warms your heart
I love him so much and here’s the best part
He’s my son, he’s my son!

Verse
This is a song that I wrote for my son
To be sung on the day that he turns twenty one
A man in every way, my son
A man, in every way my son, my son.
