[Verse 1]
Born in shadows of a secret life
Mama's tears and daddy's other wife
Half a story, half a family tree
Always wonderin' who I'm meant to be
[Chorus]
I'm the second wife's son
Living life on the run
From a truth that burns like hell
Got these blues I can't tell
Lord, I'm the second wife's son
[Verse 2]
Found my daddy in a foreign land
With another ring upon his hand
Different house and different name
Blood is blood but ain't the same
[Bridge]
Ain't no pictures on his wall
Of the child he never saw
Mama said just let it be
But these chains won't set me free
[Chorus]
I'm the second wife's son
Living life on the run
From a truth that burns like hell
Got these blues I can't tell
Lord, I'm the second wife's son
[Verse 3]
Every Sunday morning comes and goes
While he sits where nobody knows
Got a family across the sea
Living with this mystery
[Outro]
Silence is my legacy
Half a man is all I'll be
Till these blues wash away my pain
Like Singapore's summer rain
Lord, I'm just the second wife's son
