Cat Stevens - 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 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. 

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.
