Let me tell you son If i had legs like you then i'd love to run You know and another thing kid Let me sit you down here tell you what i did Well i fought the war Got a kid, got a wife got rich got poor Made it in my own time All you need is patience and a peace of mind So ease your mind my boy Ease your mind my boy Ease your mind And the things you want are the things you'll find So long Your ship may sink before it even hits the water Your dreams may wind up at the bottom of the sea Don't let the changing winds of time define the man you want to be You want to be He said drink with me Toast the good and the bad feel the sting of your memories Carry me to bed, My foolish old age makes a wise old head Let this be last For the time has come and all things must pass Let me hear you say What a wise old man told you yesterday So ease your mind my boy Ease your mind my boy Ease your mind And the things you want are the things you'll find So long Your ship may sink before it even hits the water Your dreams may wind up at the bottom of the sea Don't let the changing winds of time define the man you want to be You want to be If you live for nothing then you'll die with nothing at all (x8)
