Songtext Flesh and blood Jimmy Barnes

Flesh and blood

My flesh and blood get the best of me
But there's a darkness running deeply
Through their veins
Can see me in their eyes
My flesh and blood walk tall and strong
But I know when they're sad
Sometimes that they get scared
And it can make them blind

You see I tried to teach them how to swim
Through waters deep so they won't drown
To keep their heads up high
'Cause that same water used to drag me down

My flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love
I cared for you
I had to make it through
My flesh and blood for you

My flesh and blood, they're not on their own
'Cause I'm walking right beside them
All the way
I won't let stray
My flesh and blood have the world laid out
In front of them but the path gets hard
To find
But that won't stop them trying

I know the fear is there inside my heart
And it blocks the way inside them too
They're gonna have to work it out
It's the one thing that I could never do

My flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love
I cared for you
It's all that I could do
My flesh and blood and sweat and toil
An endless state, no sleep at all
It's true
I had to make it through
My flesh and blood for you

My flesh and blood, I can see the light
Of a new sunrise when I look into their eyes
And I know that they'll get by
My flesh and blood have the world laid out
Right in front of them
And their hearts will be their guides
I'm taking in their stride

My flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love
I cared for you
It's all that I could do
My flesh and blood and sweat and toil
An endless state, no sleep at all
It's true
I had to make it through
My flesh and blood for you

Flesh and blood and skin and bone
My hopes and dreams and love
I cared for you (oh, my flesh and blood)
(Yeah, my flesh and blood)
(Yeah, my flesh and blood)
My flesh and blood and sweat and toil (my flesh and blood)
An endless state, no sleep at all (oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's true
(My flesh and blood)
