Hollow Front - Dear Sons

Dear sons
These words are for you
A way for me to show
How much you mean to me
Using the only way I know how
Written on paper with blood as the ink

And I remember
The day you were born
Was the day I was forced to become a man
Still to this day, I don’t know what I'm doing
But I promise I'm doing the best that I can

Tell me your fears
Even when you’re grown
Because I will always
Be around to show you love

Dear Sons
I wrote this song
To prove how much you mean to me
For all the joy your love and laughter brings
Please know the world can be scary
When you’re on your own
I swear I'm always near your heart
Even when I'm gone

Dear Sons
Don’t let the world break you down
Run your dreams into the ground
If there’s anything I’d wish for you
It’s for you two to be happy
And never feel the way I do

Time passes so fast
It almost feels like we can fly
Life’s so complicated
Yet we never know the reasons why
Then one day it’s finally our time to die

Dear Sons
I’d give my life for you
Cross any ocean
Climb any mountain just to see you
I just want you to know
That you’re truly the loves of my life

Dear Sons
I wrote this song
To prove how much you mean to me
For all the joy your love and laughter brings
Please know the world can be scary
When you’re on your own
I swear I'm always near your heart
Even when I'm gone
