If I Have A Son lyrics

If I have a son, I'll teach him to be brave

'Cause if I have a son, he's never really safe

And when you run to the corner store for a snack

I wanna know that you'll make it back home

Home

Your skin, it glitters like gold

There's love inside of your soul

But no matter what you say, no matter what you do

This world will never be as friendly to you

I wanna keep you close, I wanna keep you safe

I hope I see the day, where I don't have to pray

Every time you go

Every time you go

If I have a girl, I'll teach her to be strong

'Cause even when you're right, they'll tell you that you're wrong

And if you want something, you'll work twice as hard

'Cause that's the only way we get far

Far

Your skin, it glitters like gold

There's love inside of your soul

But no matter what you say, no matter what you do

This world will never be as friendly to you

I wanna keep you close, I wanna keep you safe

I hope I see the day where I don't have to pray

Every time you go

Every time you go

I saw a man lose his life

All 'cause his skin looked like mine

I hope the world makes a change

So when you get here, it's not the same

Same

Your skin, it glitters like gold

There's love inside your soul

But no matter what you say, no matter what you do

This world will never be as friendly to you

I wanna keep you close, I wanna keep you safe

I hope I see the day where I don't have to pray

Every time you go

Every time you go

If I have a son, I'll teach him to be brave

'Cause if I have a son, he's never really safe
