Father 
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 
Think of everything you've got 
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not 

Son 
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 

Father 
I was once like you are now

But take your time, think a lot

For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not 

Son 
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
(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
