Michael's Song

(albüm: The Flood - 2010)

Up in the Midwestern cold Minnesota
18 years from here if you go by the roads
Lived a man from Columbus, Ohio
He's been my father since a long time ago

He said, "I'll stay behind you"
I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you, son of mine
I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you
I'll stay behind you till the day I die

And I remember days and days and days, spinning harmony
Christmas day spinning white oak park
All those brown bags of a dollars worth of candy
I saw him walk from a rap scene, then rap ever saw

He said, "I'll stay behind you"
I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you, son of mine
I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you
I'll stay behind you till the day I die

I haven't seen ya much since I was 12 years old
I don't suppose I'll see ya much on the rest of the road
And you should know that I miss you often
I miss your lap as much as you miss your mother's

And I'll stay behind you
I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you, son of mine
I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you
I'll stay behind you till the day I die

I wonder if you picture me as sings rider to the sea
Sometimes you wonder if I come out alive
Well, up jumped Dingo he was grinning like 'whatever'
I'm may stray far but I'll be back by five

He said I'll stay behind you
I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you, son of mine
I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you
I'll stay behind you, son of mine

I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you
I'll stay behind you, son of mine
I'll stay behind you, I'll stay behind you
I'll stay behind you till the day I die
