If I Have A Son

If I Have A Son - Ruth B. Lyrics

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

Cuz 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

Ho-o-ome...



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



And if I have a girl I'll teach her to be strong

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

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

Cuz that's the only way we get far

Fa-a-ar...



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 cuz his skin looked like mine

I hope the world makes a change

So when you get here it's not the same

Sa-a-ame...



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 son I'll teach him to be brave

Cuz if I have a son he's never really safe
