Oysterband
My Son
[Verse 1]
Here comes the pen, my son
Use it well, use it wisely
Let it flow, let your mind run lightly
Onto the page in letters of gold
Let it burn in gold

[Verse 2]
Here comes the hammer, my son
Feel the weight as you let it fall
Direct the force where you hear the call
Let the anvil take the blow
Let it go, let it go

[Verse 3]
Here comes the threat, my son
Keep strong and facе it down
Never flinch, nevеr fear the sound
Offer your hand when the anger's gone
When the anger's gone

[Verse 4]
Here comes the gun, my son
Let them know you will not need it
To make your mark, not make men bleed
Old men's wars are never done
Here comes the rain, my son
[Verse 1]
Here comes the pen, my son
Use it well, use it wisely
Let it flow, let your mind run lightly
Onto the page in letters of gold
Let it burn in gold

[Outro]
Let it burn in gold
