[Verse 1] I held you up before you could stand Your tiny fist wrapped around my hand I made mistakes, I wasn't ready then But I swore to God I'd be better by the end [Verse 2] Now you're taller than I ever was Got my eyes, got your mother's stubborn love I watch you walk out into the world alone Praying everything I taught you gets you home [Chorus] We don't say it, but it's there Same blood, same fight, same cross to bear I'd burn the whole damn sky apart To keep one scar off your heart Same blood, beating like a drum You're my son, you're my son [Verse 3] I remember teaching you to ride Let you fall and watched the tears you tried to hide You looked up like I had all the answers Son, I was just scared as you, I'm still scared now [Bridge] Every father's got his ghosts Every son becomes the man he fought the most But I'm not him, and you're not me We're writing something new, just wait and see [Chorus] We don't say it, but it's there Same blood, same fight, same cross to bear I'd burn the whole damn sky apart To keep one scar off your heart Same blood, beating like a drum You're my son, you're my son [Outro] One day you'll hold your own boy's hand And you'll finally understand Same blood, same blood You're my son
