The Armor Song
Once I was a little boy and half my father's sizeA knight in shining armor was my father in my eyesThe only thing I wanted was to be just like my dadTo wear that shining armor like so many other ladsHe began to teach me how to be a might manHow the armor saved him many times from injury and harm"Protection is important, son, in order to surviveYou have to hide behind a shield to stay alive (saying)Whatever you may do, my son, wherever you may goDon't be unprotected, don't let your feelings showEvery man is for himself, on that you can relyYou'll have to hide behind a shield to stay alive."So growing up I learned the things my father knew so wellPreparing for the world I was protected by my shellBut Mother sat me down, "Hear this before you goThere's something I should tell you and it's something you should knowYour father taught you well, my son, but one thing isn't rightYou shouldn't go out on your own preparing for a fightThe armor's just a permanent affliction of his prideAnd your father's never let no one insideSo whatever you may do, my son, wherever you may goLetras de cancionesDon't you ever be afraid to let your feelings showAnd if you grow to be a man I think you will have foundIt was the day you learned to let your armor down."So when I have my own boy, I'll know just what to doAnd foolish pride won't interfere with what he's going throughWe'll wash him up with laughter and rinse him off with tearsAnd we'll fill him up with loving that'll last him all his yearsWhatever you may do, my son, wherever you may goDon't be unprotected, don't let your feelings showEvery man is for himself, on that you can relyYou'll have to hide behind a shield to stay alive
