My teacher, my son
You came with answers
Showed me who I am
I thought it would be
The other way around
Creating a colour
I've never seen before
A new kind of love
Shook me to the core
My boy
My teacher
My son
Tied to me from the start
Part of my beating heart
You help me see myself
The patterns that are me
Some good and some
I do not want to see
Forgive me my faults
I do my very best
Just hope all my love
Can outshine the rest
My boy
My teacher
My son
My boy, a man now
A person of your own
You fill me with awe
With who you have become
Insightful and kind
Beautiful and strong
One day you might know
The meaning of this song
My boy
My teacher
My son
Tied to me from the start
Part of my beating heart
You came with answers
Showed me who I am
I thought it would be
The other way around
