Father & Son Songtext
von Cat Stevens

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


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 a change
Just relax, 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

All the times that I′ve 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
