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, 

Why, 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 

It's not time to make a change, 

Just sit down, take it slowly. 

You're still young, that's your fault, 

There's so much you have to go through. 

Find a girl, settle down, 

if you want you can marry. 

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



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 you know not me. 

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. 

I know I have to go.
