Father and Song

(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,

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 you know not me.

Now there's a way and

I know that I have to go away.
