lyrics
Jonathan, my only son!
You are your mama’s boy
You’ve got her eyes
You’ve got her spine
You’re such a joyful noise
Jonathan, blood of my blood
What’s a boy to do?
When you fell and cut your head
The kitchen floor turned red
How I wish that I could bleed for you instead!
How I wish that I could bleed for you instead!
Jonathan, boys will be boys
We need a lot of grace
You can’t count on many things
But you can count on me to fail
Promise me that you will learn from my mistakes
Promise me that you will learn from my mistakes
I swear that I will try my best to keep you safe from harm
I swear that I will try my best to keep you safe from harm
