Lyrics for Song: Between Fathers and Sons
Lyrics for Album: The Complete Mca Recordings [MCA] [2004]
(Gary Nicholson - John Jarvis)
My father had so much to tell me
Things he said I had to know
Don't make my mistakes
There are rules you can't break.
But I had to find out on my own
Now when I look at my own son
I know what my father went through
There's only so much you can do.
You're proud when they walk
Scared when they run
That's how it always has been
Between fathers and sons.
It's a bridge you can't cross
It's a cross you can't bear
It's the words you can't say
The things you can't change
No matter how much you care.
So you do all you can
but then you gotta let go
You're just part of the flow
Of the river that runs
Between fathers and sons.
--- Instrumental ---
Your mother will try to protect you
Hold you as long as she can
But the higher you climb
The more you can see.
That's something I understand
One day you'll look at your own son
There'll be so much that you want to say
He'll have to find his own way.
On the road he must take
The course he must run
That's how it always has been
Between fathers and sons.
It's a bridge you can't cross
It's a cross you can't bear
It's the words you can't say
The things you can't change
No matter how much you care.
So you do all you can
but then you gotta let go
You're just part of the flow
Of the river that runs
Between fathers and sons.
