How quickly a boy becomes a man
Living for two wasn’t exactly the plan
Though it’s clear it’s not your fault
It’s still a load that you bear
They say time can heal all things
That all depends on what tomorrow brings
Eldest son it ain’t much fun
But it’s now the role that you wear
Push it down…run away
Live to fight another day
Time goes on…it’s still there
Close your eyes and say a prayer
How quickly the years they pass on by
Never closer but still you try
To fix it all, maybe fix yourself
After all this time it’s still there
Now you’ve got a wife and boy
Allow yourself to soak up the joy
Watch that boy grow into his own
Enjoy the privilege of growing old
Push it down…run away
Live to fight another day
Time went on…it’s your turn
Close your eyes get what you’ve earned
