Eric Borgos (Songwriter)

I am a songwriter from the USA. I don't play any instruments, so I have other people make the songs for me.

I am a songwriter, but don't play any instruments, so I have other people record the songs for me. Sometimes I sing the song, sometimes the musician does. I am not a good singer, but once in a while I like to try anyway.

Lyrics

Verse 1:
When I turned 10
my mamma came to me
tears in her eyes

She said a gift
comes from the heart
in any shape or size

And in her hand
there was an old
letter with my name

It was then
I heard the story
about from where it came

Pre-Chorus:
The day
before my dad
he shipped off for the war

He put a
pen to paper
to live forever more

He said...

Chorus:
Believe in yourself
like I believe in you
think before you act
and always tell the truth

Be a part of this world
look people in the eye
open up your heart
don't be afraid to cry

Breathe in the future
breathe out the past
savor every sunset
and make each moment last

Take this lifetime
worth of wisdom
on a journey just begun

Take this lifetime
worth of wisdom
from a father to a son

Verse 2:
As I listened
to a heartbeat
and watched the ultrasound

I thought
about those words
my daddy handed down

Pre-Chorus:
And so began
on that day
a new list of my own

Of all the bits
of wisdom
I wish that I had known

Like...

Chorus:
Saying please and thank you
will go a long long way
try to smell the roses
once every day

And dance like no one's watching
always try your best
play out in the streets
and work a little less

Be a better man than me
let no stones be thrown
know whatever path you take
you'll never walk alone

Take this lifetime
worth of wisdom
on a journey just begun

A lifetime worth of wisdom
from a father to a son

Take this lifetime
worth of wisdom
on the journey just begun
from a father to a son

Ohhh, from a father to a son

From a father
From a father to a son
