[Letter to My Son (Rock Version)] [(Think Alice in Chains vocals)] [Intro]: My dearest son, these words I leave behind, A fire, a shield, a map inside your mind. The duty binds us all, one human race, A sacred call to love, respect, and grace. [Verse 1]: We’re one blood, one race, the human kind, The sacred call of love is what you’ll find. The past won’t chain you — learn, then break away, Stand tall, my son, the night will turn to day. Choose passion’s work, and joy will crown your days, Let virtue shine more bright than gold or fame. Forgive, endure, and walk with steady pace, The temple of your soul will stand in strength. [Chorus]: Hold fast, my child, the storm won’t swallow you, Your soul’s a blade, your heart’s a burning truth. The dawn will rise, the darkness fades from view, And love will be the fire that carries you. Stand firm, my child, not to be molded by external forces, find your own strength within. Let wisdom be the armor of your skin. [Verse 2]: Seek truth, delight, let knowledge light the flame, Respect yourself — the world will know your name. Love multiplies, it echoes back in kind, It’s strength and hope no chains can ever bind. Choose passion’s road, let joy ignite your days, Virtue shines brighter than the crowd’s acclaim. Forgive, endure, through fire, storm, and rain, The temple of your soul shall remain. [Chorus]: Hold fast, my child, the storm won’t swallow you, Your soul’s a blade, your heart’s a burning truth. The dawn will rise, the darkness fades from view, And love will be the fire that carries you. Forge your own identity, mettle that lies latent in your soul. [Bridge]: The shadows whisper, “Son, you can’t survive,” But deep inside, the flame is still alive. Prepare, persist, let balance be your ground, A broken world — but still, your soul is sound. My son, I leave you the light, To break the weight of the night. No chains to hold your spirit, Just truth to guide your flight. (instrumental break) [Verse 3]: Choose passion’s road, and joy will crown your days, Let virtue shine much brighter than the praise. Forgive, endure, and walk through fire and rain, The temple of your soul will remain. The world may whisper anger, And shadows will divide, But kindness grows like rivers, That turn the darkest tide. [Chorus]: Hold fast, my child, the storm won’t swallow you, Your soul’s a blade, your heart’s a burning truth. The dawn will rise, the darkness fades from view, And love will be the fire that carries you. Give respect and honor is yours. Imagine hearts unbroken, Imagine peace that stays, Imagine all tomorrow, Awake in brighter days. [Outro]: Take these words, my son, and make them true… This light I leave — it always burns in you.
