Story behind the song
My thirteen-year-old son, Ian, is autistic. Autism isn't so much something you have, as something you are. He's a handsome, wonderful, gentle boy, awkwardly growing into a man. His autism manifests itself most noticeably in his speech, which is sometimes difficult to understand. Other than that, he's pretty typical.
We're concerned about how he'll do as an adult. One of the reasons I'm involved in these musical endeavors is the hope that I'll have the financial resources to leave something behind for him when he's an adult.
This song centers on Ian at about ten years of age.
By the way - the reason he doesn't cry isn't because of his autism. It's because he has no reason to. We've given him a good life. I wish my childhood had been more like that.
- Alan Kim Cochran
Lyrics
A Song For My Son
by Alan Kim Cochran
Someday, someday, someday
Someday, someday, someday
A song for my son
To be the only one
Someday, he will be...
Someday, smiling free
A song for my son
To be the only one
You were born to be this way
But, tomorrow's another day
Yet, you are so fine in my eyes
Sticks, maps, strange acts, video games and broken bats
My little boy, who never cries
Sticks, maps, strange acts, video games and broken bats
Someday, someday, someday
Someday, someday, someday
Someday, he will be
Someday, smiling free
You were born to be this way
But, tomorrow's another day
Yet, you are so fine in my eyes
Sticks, maps, strange acts, video games and broken bats
My little boy, who never cries
Sticks, maps, strange acts, video games and broken bats
A song for my son
To be the only one
A song for my son
To be the only one
You were born to be this way
But, tomorrow's another day
Yet, you are so fine in my eyes
My little boy, who never cries
Ti-vo, ti-vo, ti-vo
Ti-vo, ti-vo, ti-vo
Someday, he will be
Someday, smiling free
Yet, you are so fine in my eyes
My little boy, who never cries
My little boy, who never cries
My little boy, who never cries
