"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

It's not time to make change (Away, away, away)

Just sit down, take it slowly

You're still young that's your fault (I know)

There's so much you have to go through (I have to make this decision)

Find a girl, settle down (Alone)

If you want you can marry

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

All the time 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
