Care For Your Mother

(album: Foreigner - 2020)

Oh son, you have to start somewhere
But don't run or you won't get there
Just tie your shoes and tend to the trees
Just be the man that I couldn't be
Just be the man I couldn't be

My son, see I wasn't there when you were born
But I felt a love for you like never before
Whilst I'm away just pick up the leaves and
Be the man that I couldn't be
Just be the man I couldn't be

Sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
'Cause sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone

'Cause it wasn't my choice
When I had to leave
But if I had been stronger
Then I would have stayed

Sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone
'Cause sorry won't change the hurt that I've done
So care for your mother when I'm gone

Oh son, stay out of trouble
Be kind and always be humble
Make her proud by not being me
Just be the man that I could not be
Be the man that I could not be

Be the man that I couldn't be
Be the man, be the man
Care for your mother
Care for your mother
Care for your mother
Care for your mother
