Father & Son (Feat. Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)) Lyrics

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

And take your time think a lot
Think of everthing 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 theres 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 its not easy,
To be calm when youve found
something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow,
but your dreams may not.

And all the times that i've cried
Keeping all the things i knew inside
And 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
