Dear Boy


(by robbi atkins)

VERSE:

I hope you keep your handshakes firm
And look people in the eye.
Appreciate your roots, 
And use your wings to fly.

Treat everyone with respect
whoever they may be.
Be kind and do the right thing,
even when no one can see.

Chorus:

my son, my greatest gift
Your long life lies ahead
And I hope and pray
That every day
You’ll live by the words I’ve said

yeah youth will fade
but don’t let your joy
and you’ll do just fine 
on the journey…….. dear boy.


VERSE:

Respect the elderly
And always lead the young.
Work hard at what makes you happy
But don’t forget to have fun.

If you would not do something,
don’t ask it of someone else.
Feel what it’s like to love another
more than you do 
yourself.

Chorus:

my son, my greatest gift
Your long life lies ahead
And I hope and pray
That every day
You’ll live by the words I’ve said

yeah youth will fade
but don’t let your joy
and you’ll do just fine 
on the journey………dear boy.


bridge:

give back to the world
and respect the land.
believe in something,
and take your stand.
and in your words and actions,
seek God’s hand.


Chorus:

my son, my greatest gift
Your long life lies ahead
And I hope and pray
That every day
You’ll live by the words I’ve said

yeah youth will fade
but don’t let your joy
and you’ll do just fine 
on the journey………dear boy.
