Care for Your Mother

Oh, son
You have to start somewhere
But don’t run
Oh, you won’t get there
Just tie your shoes
And tend to the trees
Just be the man that I couldn’t be
Just be the man I couldn’t be
My son
See I wasn’t there when you were born
But I felt a love for you like never before
So whilst I’m away just pick up the leaves
And be the man I couldn’t be
Just be the man I couldn’t be
Sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done
So care for your mother
When I’m gone
‘Cos sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done
So care for your mother
When I’m gone
Cos it wasn’t my choice
When I had to leave
But if I had been stronger
Then I would have stayed
Sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done
So care for your mother
When I’m gone
Cos sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done
So care for your mother
When I’m gone
Oh son
Stay out of trouble
Be kind and always be humble
& make her proud by not being me
Just be the man that I could not be
Just be the man that I could not be
Be the man that I couldn’t be
Be the man, be the man
Care for your mother
Care for your mother
Care for your mother
Care for your mother
