Re: Gord's lyrics that mention (or for) children
"Mother of a Minor's Child" is an excellent example. It is about the plight of a father working hard at a job he may not like in order to provide for his family. I have heard Gordon say that he has kept working to provide for his family. I don't think he sees his role as a singer/songwriter any different than if he were working in a mine himself. He is a humble man who really understands the protestant work ethic.
