A Mother's Son - Derek Ryan

I still can see the rising sun and feel the morning breeze

The faithful day I set on my way to try and find my dreams

The world was right before my eyes, my home I left behind

My mother held me close to her heart and said with a tear in her eye

No one’s perfection, but learn from the wrongs that you do

Be true to yourself, your family and friends

And the woman that cherishes you

A loving touch can be worth so much more

Than the dimonds and rings we adore

It’s how you were raised to be

When your away from me, your mother’s son

Though these simple words stayed in my mind the time went rolling by

And down the track I found my way back, from the bustle and cities bright lights

Now the music flows and love it grows, my sweetheart I have met

At night I hold her close to my heart and promise I’ll never forget

No one’s perfection, but learn from the wrongs that you do

Be true to yourself, your family and friends

And the woman that cherishes you

A loving touch can be worth so much more

Than the dimonds and rings we adore

It’s how you were raised to be

When your away from me, your mother’s son
