Care for Your Mother - Jordan Mackampa

Oh, son

You have to start somewhere

But don’t run

Oh, you won’t get there

Just tie your shoes

And tend to the trees

Just be the man that I couldn’t be

Just be the man I couldn’t be

My son

See I wasn’t there when you were born

But I felt a love for you like never before

So whilst I’m away just pick up the leaves

And be the man I couldn’t be

Just be the man I couldn’t be

Sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done

So care for your mother

When I’m gone

‘Cos sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done

So care for your mother

When I’m gone

Cos it wasn’t my choice

When I had to leave

But if I had been stronger

Then I would have stayed

Sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done

So care for your mother

When I’m gone

Cos sorry won’t change the hurt that I’ve done

So care for your mother

When I’m gone

Oh son

Stay out of trouble

Be kind and always be humble

& make her proud by not being me

Just be the man that I could not be

Just be the man that I could not be

Be the man that I couldn’t be

Be the man, be the man

Care for your mother

Care for your mother

Care for your mother

Care for your mother
