Sons [A "Daughters" Re-Write]

Sung to the tune of John Mayer's song, Daughters
Lyrics by Jennifer Coias and Danelle Frisbie

I know a boy,
He puts the color inside my world
But he's not all himself,
There's something he wants, something better than wealth

And I've done all I can
To stand on his steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Mothers, be good to your sons
Sons will love like you do
Sons become lovers who turn into fathers
So fathers, be good to your sons too

Oh, you see that skin?
It's his body that he's liven in
But since the day he felt it stolen away
And now he's left wondering why...

So mothers, be good to your sons
Sons will love like you do
Sons become lovers who turn into fathers
So fathers, be good to your sons too

Boys, you can break
But it's not yours to take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be kinder with warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every woman
Looking out for every boy
You are the god and the weight of his world

So mothers, be good to your sons
Sons will love like you do
Sons become lovers who turn into fathers
So fathers, be good to your sons too.

So fathers, be good to your sons too.
