Lyrics
I never brought you much happiness
An inconvenient circumstance
I thought it might be happenstance
That providence made me your boy
We never had much to talk about
There were many thing I just lived without
Was there love? I had my doubts
Yet Providence made me your boy
And the years were left to history
And forgetfulness was out ministry
Every day I would pray
In hopes that there might come a day
To know before it's said and done
That providence made me your son
I called you up out of courtesy
To let you know what was wrong with me
My body's filled with this disease
And Providence might tae your boy
Honestly I was a bit surprised
To hear you get chokes up on the line
To think you cared when you realized
That Providence might take your boy
And in the fear of finality
Every day I still pray
In hopes that there might come a day
To know before it's said and done
That providence made me your son
It's gotten through I'm pretty sure
But let's walk it out just to ensure
Who know this sickness might be the cure?
For Providence making a son
Every day I will pray
In hopes that there might come a day
To know before it's said and done
That providence made me your son
Do you know me?
Do you love me?
Oh I am your son....
