Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Give me your hand, I'd like to shake it
I want to show you I'm your friend
You'll understand if I can make it clear
It's all that matters in the end
[Verse 2]
Put it there if it weighs a ton
That's what a father said to his young son
I don't care if it weighs a ton
As long as you and I are here, put it there
Long as you and I are here, put it there
[Verse 3]
If there's a fight, I'd like to fix it
I hate to see things go so wrong
The darkest night and all it's mixed emotions
Is getting lighter, sing along
[Verse 4]
Put it there if it weighs a ton
That's what a father said to his young son
I don't care if it weighs a ton
As long as you and I are here, put it there
Long as you and I are here, put it there
