Lyrics Father and Son (Metrophonic mix) (feat. Yusuf) - Ronan Keating

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
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
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.
