“Son of Mine” lyrics were written by an AFTH adoptive father, Justin. Singer, song writer, story teller, and father: The story of Justin’s journey to fatherhood can be found in our previous post. Justin has performed this piece in-front of a live audience and looks forward to recording the song in his next studio session.
Son of Mine
Son of mine, clouds are often silver-lined
Son of mine, our paths in life are intertwined
So many tears of joy we shed for you, my boy
And bid farewell to some bitter times
Our deepest wish came true when we laid eyes on you
Now we’re singing praise and nursery rhymes
Oh, son of mine
Son of mine, may you grow up strong on a fertile vine
Son of mine, may you live life full and age like wine
When things get tense and they just don’t make sense
Stop and catch your breath for a little while
And if you ever feel you got a lousy deal
Remember that you’re loved and you just might smile
Oh, my dear child
And when you look in the mirror, tell me who you see
Is he any reflection of your mother and me?
When I look in your big brown eyes, I tell you what I see…
You are the heart and soul of this family
Don’t underestimate the twists and turns of fate
That led you straight into our clan
And if it be God’s will, we’ll help you gain the means and skill
To fulfill your goals, dreams and plans
Oh, as you become a man
Son of mine, little fire burning bright
Son of mine, Phoenix rising in the night
Oh, I love you… son of mine
