Mother's Son - Devlin

Every mum loves their son

Remember that the next time you’re loading up the gun

Cock it back, make it throw in and you run

Breaking them and turn them holy at the sun

Then the Lord, Jesus and Mary Magdalen

But our mom’s mind is below imagining

The subjects I’m tackling, left to cry tears when I scream, see this really

happening

Every young soul that’s killed in the field

Never perish to the hating pull to his own

This rap tool to his home, till his own home

To leave the marker on this first wounds talk broke

You can never really hurt one person

Only damage everything they ever know

So next time you see red, think slow

Before you strip another woman of her soul

(Hook)

We are just children trying to cope in

We crawl to our feet and we try to run

Won’t be one of the fallen

Our love has just begun

In the end we’re all just flash and blood, all set and done

We’re all our mother’s sons

Whether you’re rich or poor

Live like a king or you’re sleeping all alone, cold

Concrete floor, summer in the city

Nearly every man has a mother he adores

But when the time comes to leave the nest

We have to learn to fly alone and fight our own wars

For the trouble that will always be stars

Some man’s right, but some close doors

Today is like I don’t know what to say

Looking in the face the whole human race

In dismay I think that we forget

Who we evolved from the first drowns of DNA

Creating many types of men

Think as a fire as the men in different shades

Opinions, measurements, shapes

And though, within our mother’s eyes we’ll be great

(Hook)

We are just children trying to cope in

We crawl to our feet and we try to run

Won’t be one of the fallen

Our love has just begun

In the end we’re all just flash and blood, all set and done

We’re all our mother’s sons

(Bridge)

Let me take the opportunity to say

I tell my loved ones I love them every day

Rule children of the planet trying to grow while the minutes slip away

Some try hard and fly for the flip off

Some strawl into glory like it’s faith

But whatever life decides, the car dripping dope if you were to hate

(Hook)

We are just children trying to cope in

We crawl to our feet and we try to run

Won’t be one of the fallen

Our love has just begun

In the end we’re all just flash and blood, all set and done

We’re all our mother’s sons

We are just children trying to cope in

We crawl to our feet and we try to run

Won’t be one of the fallen

Our love has just begun

In the end we’re all just flash and blood, all set and done

We’re all our mother’s sons
