Father and son

It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now,
And I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found
Something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow,
But your dreams may not.

How can I try to explain,
When I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know
That I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

I was once like you are now,
And I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found
Something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow,
But your dreams may not.

All the times that I cried,
Keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree,
But it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know
That I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
