Between Fathers And Sons

Intro: Verse My father had so much to tell me, things he said I had to know Don't make my mistakes, there are rules you can't break but I had to find out on my own Now when I look my own son, I know what my father went thru There's only so much you can do You're proud when they walk, and scared when they run That's how it always has been between fathers and sons It's a bridge you can't cross, it's a cross you can't bear It's the words you can't say, things you can't change, no matter how much you care So you do all you can, but then you gotta let go You're just part of the flow of a river that runs between fathers and sons Intro Your mother will try to protect you, and hold you as long as she can But the higher you climb the more you will see that's something that I understand One day you'll look at your own son, there'll be so much that you want to say But he'll have to find his own way On the road he must take, the course he must run That's how it always has been between fathers and sons It's a bridge you can't cross, it's a cross you can't bear It's the words you can't say, the things you can't change, no matter how much you care So you do all you can, but then you gotta let go You're just part of the flow of a river that runs between fathers and sons
