Sweet Child of Mine

Sweet child of mine,
you have walked on the line.
through the darkest of places,
but you`re doing just fine.

Keep your head above water,
and a smile on your face.
And maybe someday,
things will fall into place.

I know its not easy,
to follow  your plan.
But its part of the journey,
to becoming a man.

So pick up your heels,
and take your head out from the sands.
Keep a hold of what you`ve got,
and keep it safely in you`re your hands.
