If I have a sonI'll teach him to be brave'Cause if I have a sonHe's never really safeAnd when you run to the corner store for a snackI wanna know that you'll make it back homeHome
Your skin, it glitters like goldThere's love inside of your soulBut no matter what you say, no matter what you doThis world will never be as friendly to youI wanna keep you close, I wanna keep you safeI hope I see the day where I don't have to prayEvery time you goEvery time you go
And if I have a girlI'll teach her to be strong'Cause even when you're rightThey'll tell you that you're wrongAnd if you want something you'll work twice as hard'Cause that's the only way we get farFar
Your skin, it glitters like goldThere's love inside of your soulBut no matter what you say, no matter what you doThis world will never be as friendly to youI wanna keep you close, I wanna keep you safeI hope I see the day where I don't have to prayEvery time you goEvery time you go
I saw a man lose his lifeAll 'cause his skin looked like mineI hope the world makes a changeSo when you get here it's not the sameSame
Your skin, it glitters like goldThere's love inside of your soulBut no matter what you say, no matter what you doThis world will never be as friendly to youI wanna keep you close, I wanna keep you safeI hope I see the day where I don't have to prayEvery time you go, oohEvery time you go
If I have a sonI'll teach him to be brave'Cause if I have a sonHe's never really safe
