[Verse 1]
Listen to what I say
Keep it in mind
Dear son of mine
Remember when you wake
The advice I gave
I hope it keeps you safe

[Chorus]
When I'm not around
When I'm not around
When I'm not around
When I'm not around

[Verse 2]
Look at how far we've come
Forwards and back
Backwards and fore
My arrow is pointed straight
Just like you taught
But what will I do

[Chorus]
When you're not around
When you're not around
When you're not around
When you're not around
[Verse 3]
My arrow is pointed straight
Just like you taught
But what will I do

[Chorus]
When you're not around
When you're not around
When you're not around
When you're not around
