Sons

There’s a man in that boy
Reaching for life, dancing with strangers
Feeling its joy
Rain on his face
Light in his eyes
Blue red and green
Colour his dreams
Leaving their mark on the boy

There’s a show on tonight
A boy on a stage singing with angels
Fixed by the light
Addressing the crowd
Holding their eyes
Acts out the scene
Lives out his dreams
Making a man of the boy

A seed is sown
Watch it grow
Making light of the mountains he climbs
Looking far beyond the stars
Going places where I’ve never seen 
Through lifes loves and labours
Hold your head high
It’s making a man with golden thread
Hmmmm

There’s a child in that man
Looking for love walking with strangers
Holding his hands
Climbing a hill
Making a stand
Blue red and green
Colour that scene
Leaving their mark on the boy

There’s a photo on my wall
Two boys and a man smiling for a stranger
A moment in time
Captured in ink
Living in rhythm
Blue red and green
Colour that dream
Making a man of the boy

A seed is sown
Watch it grow
Making light of the mountains he climbs
Looking far beyond the stars
Going places where I’ve never been 
Through lifes loves and labours
Hold your head high
It’s making a man with golden thread
Hmmmm
