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 sons |
|
I see 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 then you gotta let go |
|
You're just part of the flow of the river that runs between fathers and sons [ guitar ] |
|
Now your mother she'll try to protect you she'll hold you as long as she can |
|
But the higher you climb the more you can see |
|
And that's something |
|
I understand |
|
One day you'll look at your own son there'll be so much that you want to say |
|
But he'll have to find his own way |
|
Down 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... |
|
We're just part of the flow of the river that runs between fathers and sons |
