VERSE:
You had the [C]Love of a creator before [F]I was born.
That ultra[Dm]sound was of a son to be the [F]light of your world.
[C]October [F]came, you were still a[Dm]lone.[F]
My mother [C]just couldn't let go, but you [F]understood.
You even [Dm]handed her the blanket that you [F]made for me in hope,
[C]My little [F]body would be yours to h[Dm]old.[F]
You know that [C]blanket was the blanket [F]that kept me warm?
I think [Dm]today it's still the blanket that con[F]tinues to keep me warm.
[C]Because I get [F]cold when I think of [Dm]him.[F]
CHORUS:
But my [C]mother's heart fell back into the [F]hands of a man,
The one who [Dm]embraced me with [F]Love and no questions asked.
[C]"We're all just [F]children of God." he sa[Dm]id.[F]
And I don't [C]carry his blood but I [F]know enough,
To know that [Dm]I don't need science to [F]feel undying love.
[C]My whole life and [F]three brothers makes me a [Dm]son.[F]
VERSE:
[C]And as for you I know this is the [F]bond we share,
I re[Dm]main right here while [F]you're somewhere out there.
[C]But you will [F]always be right[Dm] here.[F]
The iron[C]y is in the fact that you and [F]my old man
Paral[Dm]lel in a theme too [F]hard for me to understand.
[C]You both loved me [F]more than my father ever [Dm]did.[F]
CHORUS:
But my [C]mother's heart fell back into the [F]hands of a man,
The one who [Dm]embraced me with [F]Love and no questions asked.
[C]"We're all just [F]children of God." he sa[Dm]id.[F]
And I don't [C]carry his blood but I [F]know enough,
To know that [Dm]I don't need science to [F]feel undying love.
[C]My whole life and [F]three brothers makes me a [Dm]son.[F]
