[Verse 1]
I always knew you
In your mother's arms
I have called your name
I've an idea
Placed in your mind
To be a better man
I've made a crown for you
Put it in your room
And when the bridegroom comes
There will be noise
There will be glad
And a perfect bed
[Verse 2]
And when you write a poem
I know the words
I know the sounds
Before you write it down
When you wear your clothes
I wear them too
I wear your shoes
And your jacket too
I always knew you
In your mother's arms
I have called you son
I've made amends
Between father and son
Or if you haven't one
[Verse 3]
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
[Bridge]
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
[Outro]
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
Rest in my arms
Sleep in my bed
There's a design
To what I did and said
