Flesh And Blood

My flesh and blood get the best of me
But there’s a darkness running deeply through their veins
I can see me in their eyes

My flesh and blood walk tall and strong
But I know inside sometimes that they get scared
And it can make them blind

You see I tried to teach them how to swim
Through waters deep so they won’t drown
To keep their heads up high ‘cause that same water
Used to drag me down

My flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love I kept for you
It’s all that I could do
My flesh and blood and swеat and toil
And endless days no sleep at all it’s true
I had to makе it through
My flesh and blood for you

My flesh and blood they’re not on their own
Because I’m walking right beside them all the way
I won’t let them stray

My flesh and blood have the world laid out in front of them
But the path gets hard to find
But that won’t stop them trying

I know the fear that’s there inside my heart
It blocks the way inside them too
But they’re going to have to work it out
That’s the one thing, that I could never do

My flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love I kept for you
It’s all that I could do
My flesh and blood and sweat and toil
And endless days no sleep at all it’s true
I had to make it through
My flesh and blood for you

My flesh and blood I can see the light
Of a new sunrise when I look into their eyes
And I know that they’ll get by

My flesh and blood have the world laid out
Right in front of them
And their hearts will be their guide
And take it in their stride

My flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love I kept for you
It’s all that I could do
My flesh and blood and sweat and toil
And endless days no sleep at all it’s true
I had to make it through
My flesh and blood for you

Oh, my flesh and blood
My flesh and blood
My flesh and blood
It’s all that I can do
My flesh and blood
My flesh and blood
My flesh and blood
They’re my flesh and blood
Yeah, my flesh and blood
My flesh and blood
My flesh and blood
