My flesh and blood get the best of me
But there's a darkness running deeply
Through their veins
Can see me in their eyes
My flesh and blood walk tall and strong
But I know inside sometimes
That they get scared
And it can make them blind
You see I tried to teach them how to swim
Through waters deep so they won't drown
To keep their heads up high
'Cause that same water used to drag me down
My flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love
I kept for you
It's all that I could do
My flesh and blood and sweat and toil
And endless days, no sleep at all, it's true
I had to make it through
My flesh and blood for you
My flesh and blood, they're not on their own
'Cause I'm walking right beside them
All the way
I won't let them stray
My flesh and blood have the world laid out
In front of them but the path gets hard
To find
But that won't stop them trying
I know the fear that's there inside my heart
It blocks the way inside them too
They're gonna have to work it out
That's the one thing that I could never do
My flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love
I kept for you
It's all that I could do
My flesh and blood and sweat and toil
And endless days, no sleep at all, it's true
I had to make it through
My flesh and blood for you
My flesh and blood, I can see the light
Of a new sunrise when I look into their eyes
And I know that they'll get by
My flesh and blood have the world laid out
Right in front of them
And their hearts will be their guides
And take it in their stride
My flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love
I kept for you
It's all that I could do
My flesh and blood and sweat and toil
And endless days, no sleep at all, it's true
I had to make it through
My flesh and blood for you
Flesh and blood and skin and bone (oh-oh)
My hopes and dreams and love
I cared for you (oh, my flesh and blood)
(My flesh and blood, my flesh and blood)
Flesh and blood and sweat and toil
And endless days (flesh and blood), no sleep at all (oh-oh) it's true
(It's all that I can do, my)
Flesh and blood and skin and bone (my flesh and blood)
My hopes and dreams and love
I cared for you (my flesh and blood)
(Yeah, my flesh and blood, yeah, my flesh and blood)
Flesh and blood and sweat and toil (my flesh and blood)
And endless days, no sleep at all (oh-oh) it's true
(My flesh and blood)
