It Wasn't His Child
A Father's Unwavering Love: It Wasn't His Child
Lyrics
He was her man, she was his wife
Describing the marital relationship between a man and a woman.
And late one winter night
Setting the scene of the story, a late winter night.
He knelt by her
The man knelt by his wife.
As she gave birth
The wife is giving birth, a significant event in the story.
But it wasn't his child,
Revealing a twist, the child being born is not biologically the man's.
It wasn't his child
Reiteration that the child is not the man's.
Yet still he took him as his own
The man still accepts and takes the child as his own.
And as he watched him grow
Observing the child's growth brings joy to the man.
It brought him joy
The man finds joy in watching the child grow despite not being biologically related.
But it wasn't his child
Reiteration that the child is not biologically his.
It wasn't his child
Emphasizing again that the child is not his own.
But like a father he was strong and kind
Despite not being the biological father, he exhibits fatherly qualities - strength and kindness.
And I believe he did his best
Expressing belief that the man did his best despite the challenges.
It wasn't easy for him
Acknowledging the difficulties faced by the man in accepting a child not his own.
But he did all could
The man did everything he could for the child, who was different from others.
His son was different from the rest
Highlighting again that the child is not biologically related to the man.
It wasn't his child
Reiteration that the child is not the man's.
It wasn't his child
Emphasizing once more that the child is not his biological child.
And when the boy became a man
When the boy becomes a man, he acknowledges his father.
He took his father's hand
The man's influence is evident as the son takes his father's hand.
And soon the world
The world will soon know the reason for the unique father-son relationship.
Would all know why
The revelation that the child is not the man's biological child.
It wasn't his child
Reiteration that the child is not biologically his.
It wasn't his child
Emphasizing again that the child is not his biological child.
But like a father he was strong and kind
Despite the non-biological connection, the man displays fatherly qualities.
And I believe he did his best
Belief that the man did his best as a father despite the challenges.
It wasn't easy for him
Acknowledging the difficulties faced by the man in accepting a child not his own.
But he did all could
The man did everything he could for the child, who was different from others.
He grew up with his hands in wood
The son grows up working with wood, indicating a skill or trade.
And he died with his hands in wood
Highlighting the son's life and death, still connected to working with wood.
He was God's child,
The ultimate revelation that the child belongs to God, not the man.
He was God's child
Reiteration that the child is God's, not the man's.
He was her man
Repeating the initial description of the marital relationship.
She was his wife
Reiteration of the man and woman's relationship.
And late one night
Restating the setting of the story, a late night when the child is born.
He knelt by her
The man kneels by his wife as she gives birth.
As she gave birth
Revealing again that the child is not the man's biologically.
But it wasn't his child
Reiteration that the child is not his, but God's.
It was God's child
Final confirmation that the child belongs to God, not the man.
