jonathan was born on Thursday into a silent world. the doctor said genetics caused an undeveloped nerve. I hold his mama's hand, we cry - are we the ones to blame? he's at a disadvantage and he never had a say. our son can't hear his mama's tears.
in my son's ears, there won't be a word of anger. in my son's ears, there will never be a word of hate. he will never hear me say how proud of him I'll be, but my son will see. and I know he'll feel. jonathan will know I love him.
my son's ears will never listen to a song or symphony, but he'll never have to hear the chilling sound of poverty. my son will never know the sound of laughter in his life, but he'll never hear those empty words when the nations start to fight. my son can't hear the sound of fear.
in my son's ears, there won't be a word of anger. in my son's ears, there will never be a word of hate. he will never hear me say how proud of him I'll be, but my son will see. and I know he'll feel. jonathan will know...
my son won't hear the way I tell his mom she's beautiful - with all the tender sweetness that a woman must be shown. but in every single way I live my life he'll learn the most. yeah this little boy in front of me will be twice the man I'd hope to be.
in my son's ears, there won't be a word of anger. in my son's ears, there will never be a word of hate. he will never hear me say how proud of him I'll be, but my son will see. and I know he'll feel. jonathan will know...
Great "blessing in disguise" song ..strikes a chord, stands on solid ground, music's great, and any (even slight) improvement in the lyrics will make it something very special. BC's right ..you got 'er bud!
