I heard a father to a son Lend his advice share his wisdom To his child his own kingdom To his only one He says as long as his thirst does expand Then these people will keep on wondering The girls will keep on suffering I promise you But don't live on in despair My child, my son, my only air My love, my life, I won't pretend When I say to you As long as you keep your head There will be lovers to lam your every bed People to breach just what you said I promise you And in this world of wonder There will be times when you are afraid When the lightning and the thunder Have left you feeling strange When all the singing and the drums In the sunshine leave you numb Don't let them get you down My son, my only one
So when you wake up a man one day Just remember what your father used to say You can take all you want you can throw it away It's up to you But all the things you do in this life Your joy, your pain, your sacrifice You'll forever live on in another life I promise you And in this world of wonder There will be times when you are afraid When the lightning and the thunder Have left you feeling strange When all the singing and the drums In the sunshine leave you numb Don't let them get you down My son, my only one
