If I Have A Son(feat. The Harlem Gospel Travelers) - Ruth B. (鲁思·B)/The Harlem Gospel Travelers/Ruth Berhe

Composed by：Ruth Berhe

If I have a son I'll teach him to be brave

'Cuz if I have a son he's never really safe

And when you run to the corner store for a snack

I wanna know that you'll make it back home

Ho-o-ome

Your skin it glitters like gold

There's love inside of your soul

But no matter what you say no matter what you do

This world will never be as friendly to you

I wanna keep you close I wanna keep you safe

I hope I see the day where I don't have to pray

Every time you go

Every time you go

And if I have a girl I'll teach her to be strong

'Cuz even when you're right they'll tell you that you're wrong

And if you want something you'll work twice as hard

'Cuz that's the only way we get far

Fa-a-ar

Your skin it glitters like gold

There's love inside of your soul

But no matter what you say no matter what you do

This world will never be as friendly to you

I wanna keep you close I wanna keep you safe

I hope I see the day where I don't have to pray

Every time you go

Every time you go

I saw a man lose his life

All 'cuz his skin looked like mine

I hope the world makes a change

So when you get here it's not the same

Same

Your skin it glitters like gold

There's love inside of your soul

But no matter what you say no matter what you do

This world will never be as friendly to you

I wanna keep you close I wanna keep you safe

I hope I see the day where I don't have to pray

Every time you go

Every time you go

If I have a son I'll teach him to be brave

'Cuz if I have a son he's never really safe
