MY BOY

[Chorus] Stay young Stay small, my boy Fit inside these arms forever 'Cause the world's not all it's cracked up to Be (Be) I sigh I cry, my boy Soon you'll see the world is not this room And I can't keep you from the pain that you'll have to See (See) [Verse] Lord, it's tough to hold my son and be here in the moment I need to keep him safe, tell me which direction this world is going I feel the shame for my lack of faith when you walk the ocean Eve bit the apple, my faith is weak, and my trust is broken There's things that I can't keep him from Like the loneliness you feel in the realizations of growing up Like a best friеnd at his mother's bedside whеn she passes from the leukemia Like a coach about to die asking you why he's gotta leave his son I hate the weakness of owning up to the sins of past I hate the weakness of giving up what I used to have I hate the weakness of showing my son what makes me sad He said a present father is worth way more than a perfect dad [Chorus] Stay young Stay small, my boy Fit inside these arms forever 'Cause the world's not all it's cracked up to Be (Be) I sigh I cry, my boy Soon you'll see the world is not this room And I can't keep you from the pain that you'll have to See (See) [Post-Chorus] Stay young [Outro] (Yes, Jesus loves me) (The Bible tells me so)
