[Opening Verse]

Oh son of mine,

I just can’t define

Everything you mean to me

You know I love you now,

but I’ll love even more somehow

Who you are one day gonna be



[Verse]

Oh I prayed with desperation

Loved you before we met

A crystal dream sheltered in my soul that no time could make forget

And when I finally held you in my arms

I poured my heart into yours

To raise you from the inside-out

And prepare you for this world



[CHORUS]

So let my love be a pillar and never a chain

Let my heart beat steady in the sun and in the rain

Let my arms be your safety when you slip and fall

And let my heart shape yours to be good - and be strong



[BRIDGE]

My sweet boy I pray each morning

That my love will one day show

How to cherish and protect

A family of your own

'Cause I've held you the way a heart wants to be held

Showed you the man you could one day be

I gave you a life built on love that is true

Shaped your heart ready to love someone new

Love lessons in love



[FINAL CHORUS]

Now may your love be a pillar and never a chain

May your heart be steady in sun and in rain

May your arms be her shelter if she slips and falls

May your heart cradle hers - both gentle and strong




[Closing Verse]

Oh son of mine, I just can’t define

Everything you mean to me

You know I loved you then

But I loved even more when

You became the man I dreamed you would be
