(Soft log drum rhythm starts)
Awe, my boy
Jordan van der Ross
Listen close now, yeah
Just listen to my voice
I look at you and see the world ahead
All the dreams inside your heart, they need to spread
I know the road is long and life is tough
Sometimes it feels like you have had enough
But look at me, I'm standing right here near
To wipe away the doubt and every fear
My son, I only want the best for you
In everything you say and all you do
So listen to my voice, my son
Before the setting of the sun
The voice of your father, true and deep
These are the promises that I will keep
Just listen to my voice, hear what I say
I'll guide you through the darkness to the day
Jordan, my boy, I love you more than gold
Listen to the stories I have told
I know the world can make you feel so small
But you're a giant, you will never fall
Just take a breath and hear me call your name
I'm rooting for you, that is not a game
From Arthur to my boy, a bond so strong
It's written in the rhythm of this song
Don't let the noise of life drown out the truth
I'm with you through the seasons of your youth
So listen to my voice, my son
Before the setting of the sun
The voice of your father, true and deep
These are the promises that I will keep
Just listen to my voice, hear what I say
I'll guide you through the darkness to the day
Jordan, my boy, I love you more than gold
Listen to the stories I have told
(Piano stabs swell)
I’m not asking for the world, just your ear
I want to see you conquer every fear
Sharp sharp, my boy, keep your head held high
Under the vast and beautiful South African sky
So when you're lost and don't know where to turn
Remember all the lessons that you learn
My love is constant, like the rising tide
With you forever, standing by your side
It's Arthur's word, a father's simple plea
Stay grounded, son, and always just be free
So listen to my voice, my son
Before the setting of the sun
The voice of your father, true and deep
These are the promises that I will keep
Just listen to my voice, hear what I say
I'll guide you through the darkness to the day
Jordan, my boy, I love you more than gold
Listen to the stories I have told
Just listen, Jordan
To your father's voice
I love you always
Sharp, my boy, sharp
