Casper - Arlen Griffey (Prelude) lyrics

My son, Benjamin
Has always been the smartest kid I ever knew
We didn't have much money because I was
In the army ben was smart enough to
Do anything he wanted: he could easily
Have become a doctor, lawyer
Scientist his love for music was very
Clear early on when he started
Singing all of the words
To Michael Jackson and
Tone Loc songs when he was five
Benjamin was mixing his own
Cassette tapes using an old turntable
With dual cassette tape
Deck his favourite album to
Sample was Michael Jackson's
"Thriller" and that resulted in numerous
Special cassettes for Benjamin
Alone i'm very proud of my son for
Following his dream in music and
Refusing to surrender to
The pressures of a tangled world the things
I wish for Ben's future are: be happy, stand
Up straight for your beliefs
Remember your family
And help people whenever you can
