MR. MURPHY'S SON


Words and Music by Richard X. Heyman
Copyright 2006


He blames himself
For every single tear that falls
And all his wealth
Can't beat the cost of feeling small


He's now a testament to what he could have done
He's incomplete, he can't compete
He's Mr. Murphy's son


When he was young
His father taught him to be strong
The rope was hung
Hard as he tried he did it wrong


He's now a legacy of what he could have won
Out of control, he plays the role
Of Mr. Murphy's son


He spent his life
Too insecure to even try
Even his wife
Could not undo the knot he tied


He's now a monument of where he had begun
He never looks you in the eye
He's Mr. Murphy's son


He's now a legacy of what he could have won
Out of control he plays the role
Of Mr. Murphy's son
