You came from a part of me blessed with everything I am
There is nothing that I wouldn't do to watch you grow to be a better man than I
Then it all falls down rushing emergency they say you are losing life
Every father dreads this day
I give my life to you every piece of my soul is a gift so true
Take my heart through skin and bones
Leave me there lifeless for you to live as my own.
They say your strength has gone your body can't fight this pain
You're still my first born now put the knife onto me
Anesthetic syringes time is not by our side
This is my blood my pride and joy sacrifice my last breath to keep him alive.
I have to be dreaming I cringed at the sound of your screaming
I did what I thought was right and let you take the last of my life
Can you just imagine
Holding the body of the son you raised from birth
What more can you say to explain this feeling
I now walk as the ghost that lives through him.
I give my life to you every piece of my soul is a gift so true
Take my heart through skin and bones
Leave me there lifeless for you to live as my own.
