Lyrics:

If I have a son, I`ll teach him to be brave
Cuz if I have a son, he`s never really safe
And when you run to the corner store for a snackI wanna know that you`ll make it back home
Ho-o-ome...

Your skin, it glitters like gold
There`s love inside of your soul
But no matter what you say, no matter what you do
This world will never be as friendly to you
I wanna keep you close, I wanna keep you safe
I hope I see the day, where I don`t have to pray
Every time you go
Every time you go

And if I have a girl, I`ll teach her to be strong
Cuz even when you`re right, they`ll tell you that you`re wrong
And if you want something you`ll work twice as hard
Cuz that`s the only way we get far
Fa-a-ar...

Your skin, it glitters like gold
There`s love inside of your soul
But no matter what you say, no matter what you do
This world will never be, as friendly to you
I wanna keep you close, I wanna keep you safe
I hope I see the day, where I don`t have to pray
Every time you go
Every time you go

I saw a man lose his life
All cuz his skin looked like mine
I hope the world makes a change
So when you get here it`s not the same
Sa-a-ame...

Your skin, it glitters like gold
There`s love inside your soul
But no matter what you say, no matter what you do
This world will never be, as friendly to you
I wanna keep you close, I wanna keep you safe
I hope I see the day where I don`t have to pray
Every time you go
Every time you go

If I have a son I`ll teach him to be brave
Cuz if I have a son he`s never really safe
