A song dedicated to his mothers courage & strength whilst raising two children on her own; in addition to making up all the fatherly advice he longed for, from the parent he never had.
[Verse 1]
Oh, son
You have to start somewhere
But don’t run
Oh, you won’t get there
Just tie your shoes
And tend to the trees
Just be the man that I couldn’t be
Just be the man I couldn’t be
[Verse 2]
My son
See I wasn't there when you were born
But I felt a love for you like never before
So whilst I'm away just pick up the leaves
And be the man I couldn't be
Just be the man I couldn't be
[Chorus]
Sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done
So care for your mother
When I’m gone
‘Cos sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done
So care for your mother
When I’m gone
[Breakdown]
Cos it wasn’t my choice
When I had to leave
But if I had been stronger
Then I would have stayed
[Chorus]
Sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done
So care for your mother
When I’m gone
Cos sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done
So care for your mother
When I’m gone
[Verse 3]
Oh son
Stay out of trouble
Be kind and always be humble
& make her proud by not being me
Just be the man that I could not be
Just be the man that I could not be
[Outro]
Be the man that I couldn’t be
Be the man, be the man
Care for your mother
Care for your mother
Care for your mother
Care for your mother
