     He was her man, she was his wife and late one winter night 
     D/F#     Em      D          C 
He knelt by her as she gave birth

     Yet he still took him as his own, and as he watched him grow 
    D/F#         Em      D            C 
It brought him joy, he loved that boy

But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child

     And when the boy became a man, he took his father's hand

And soon the world would all know why
