Gentle And Strong

Waking up to hear a little boy’s
Voice in the morning
Little footsteps brush across the floor
And you open the door
Just beneath my gaze I see your face
Just like clockwork you reach
Towards my glass of water
Upon the night stand, and carefully
You hand it up to me
I’ll be by your side, father and son
And in time you’ll understand
When you grow up to be a man, Ian
Gentle and strong
Believe in the words, your song
Gentle and strong
Believe in the words, your song
I want to know you, want to show you I care
And I want to lead you, want to be your friend
Gentle and strong
Believe in the words, your song
Gentle and strong
Believe in the words, your song
I want to know you, want to show you I care
And I want to lead you, want to be your friend
I’ll be by your side, father and son
And in time you’ll understand
When you grow up to be a man, Ian
Gentle and strong
Believe in the words, your song
Gentle and strong
Believe in the words, your song
I want to know you, want to show you I care
And I want to lead you, want to be your friend
