Lyrics

My flesh and blood get the best of me But there's a darkness running deeply through their veins I 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 swеat and toil And endless days no sleep at all it's true I had to makе it through My flesh and blood for you My flesh and blood they're not on their own Because 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 But they're going to 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 guide 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 Oh, my flesh and blood My flesh and blood My flesh and blood It's all that I can do My flesh and blood My flesh and blood My flesh and blood They're my flesh and blood Yeah, my flesh and blood My flesh and blood My flesh and blood
