Lyrics

You?ll have your day

A boy so down, and pushed around
They would choose me, to abuse me, they would all use me.
And you?d run to defend your old son and say, he?ll have his day

Where have you been, so said your friends,
Such a proud man, not a loud man, nor a lonely man.
And you?d give of your time so the sun would shine, so they?d have their day

All the thoughts inside my head,
Should be shared with you instead,
Don?t know why I kept them in,
Guess they?re hidden deep within,
But in time I hope you see,
That you?ve meant so much to me,
And in time if I can be,
Half the man you were to me

You joke on stage, about your age,
Such an old crow, with no ego, will they ever know,
All the while you just stand there and make them smile, day after day.

And I?m feeling overcome
Don?t know where its comin from,
The emotions deep inside,
Buried somewhere still alive,
Wish I had the words to say
But its never been our way
So I?ll have to hope and pray
That you too shall have your day.

And you never care, ?bout the cloths you wear
Nor the kind of car that just the way you are,
You never rose too far from me, the closest star,
And I search for the right kind of words to say, so you?ll have your day.

All the thoughts inside my head,
Should be shared with you instead,
Don?t know why I kept them in,
Guess they?re hidden deep within,
But in time I hope you see,
That you?ve meant so much to me,
And in time if I can be,
Half the man you were to me

And I?m feeling overcome
Don?t know where its comin from,
The emotions deep inside,
Buried somewhere still alive,
Wish I had the words to say
But its never been our way
So I?ll have to hope and pray
That you too shall have your day.
