My father told me long ago Hey listen son, you ought to know I've been a young man, just like you I've had my dreams, a future, too I've been across the seven seas That's how I found my inner peace Discovered ways to ride the storm I showed respect and did no harm So don't, go too far Get to know who you are Learn to live and give. Under the moon I can see you now You are smiling Under the moon I can see you now You are waiting Under the moon, I can see Hey listen son, you know by now That you can't make the angels bow Your family is who you are Live in love and fly with stars But don't go too far Get to know who you are Learn to live and give My father told me long ago Hey listen son, you ought to know I've been a young man, just like you I've had my dreams, a future, too I had my dreams, a future, too
