You're from my own flesh and blood
I gave you life
I raised you up
I taught you walk
I taught you speak
I taught you silence so you'd keep
All the secrets to yourself
I taught you wrong
I taught you right
But I drew never black and white
I gave you guidance, let you be
Showed you my truth so you could see
All the blank spots for yourself
And now I stand here
And I hope that you can see who I am
And I hope that someday you'll understand
And I hope that someday you'll hold me close
And call me home
You're from my own flesh and blood
But we don't speak we barely talk
And all the secrets they don't leak
They're in the silence that you keep
And you keep them to yourself
And now I stand here
And I hope that you can see who I am
And I hope that someday you'll understand
And I hope that someday you'll hold me close
And call me home
And call me home
And call me home
And I hope I'll be there
And I hope I'll be there
And I hope I'll be there
And I hope I'll be there
And I hope I'll be there
And I hope I'll be there
And I hope I'll be there
And I hope I'll be there
And I hope I'll be there
And I hope that you still see who I am
And I hope that someday you'll understand
And I hope that someday you'll hold me close
And call me home
