Lyrics
V1
What will I teach you
To help you survive
Create a world-view
That'll keep you alive
V2
Danger is present
Wherever you go
A voice of dissent
Might strike a harsh blow
Chorus
Be on the safe side
When you travel life
Too many have cried
From conflict and strive
Live proudly my son
And hold your head high
Don't turn tail and run
Or turn a blind eye
Face the truth, my son
Live life strong, my son
V3
Choose a noble cause
Believe with your heart
Don't break any laws
Think twice and be smart
Bridge
Remember my words
Fly free as a bird
Chorus
Be on the safe side
When you travel life
Too many have cried
From conflict and strive
Live proudly my son
And hold your head high
Don't turn tail and run
Or turn a blind eye
Face the truth, my son
Live life strong, my son
Outro
I love you, my son
Forever you'll be
My son, My brave son
