"Benjamin" lyrics

It will be a wonderful honor
Just to take care of you
At your birth, you inspired
Me to do what I do

When my days turn to night
And my night close in
You gave me a sign
Called Benjamin, Benjamin
And if I ever lose sight
Of all the good that you've been
May my eyes rest upon
My son Benjamin

Seven pounds and six ounces
Chocolate just like me, oh, yes, he is
Chose to lay his foundation
Which is God and Black history

So, when his days turn to night
And his night closes in
He can follow the sign
My son Benjamin, Benjamin
And if he ever lose sight
Of all the good that God's been
Someone play him this song
Called Benjamin

When my day turns to night
Oh, and my night closes in
I remember the sign
My son Benjamin, Benjamin
And if I ever lose sight
Of all the good that God's been
May my eyes rest upon
My son, Benjamin
