Please, just stay
What would I do
If my dad left my brother
Because he couldn’t deal with his pain
Or the crazy of my mother?
Blood never mattered
But now does it change
Because my brother has grown
And he’s a little bit strange?
He’s not a baby anymore
But he still needs his dad
It doesn’t matter if he’s different
You’re the best he’s ever had
Just because you don’t share blood
Doesn’t make him any less your kid
It’s because of you he’s so happy
The good things that you did
When you rocked him to sleep
Sang softly in his ear
He knew his dad would protect him
Keep him safe from any fear
You’ve done more than his donor ever did
Keeping him safe when he wasn’t even your kid
You can’t back out now, it’s just too late
You being in his life was all a plan of fate
Now you know that I love you
For some inexplicable reason
But I swear to God if you leave him
It’d be like committing treason
Don’t you ever leave him behind
No matter what, he needs you
Don’t pretend like you don’t know
Because I know that you do
That is your son, Dad
And he always will be
If you value your kids
Then you’ll listen to me
Take care of that boy
Take care of his heart
Raise him to be brave
Raise him to be smart
Just sit there and listen
When he tells you about his day
Please, just never leave him
Please, just stay
