Fathers and Sons

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 at my own sons
 I can see what my father went through
 Yeah, there's only so much you can do
 You're proud when they walk
 Scared when they run
 And 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
 Then you gotta let go
 You're just part of the flow
 Of the river that runs
 Between fathers and sons
 ♪
 Your mother will try to protect you
 Yeah, she'll hold you as long as she can
 But the higher you climb
 The more you can see
 Boy, that's something I understand
 One day you'll look at your own sons
 There'll be so much that you want to say
 That he'll have to find his own way
 Down the road he must take
 The course he must run
 That's how it always will be between fathers and son
 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
 Then you gotta let go
 You're just part of the flow
 Of the river that runs
 Between fathers and sons
 So you do all you can
 Then you gotta let go
 You're just part of the flow
 Of the river that runs
 Between fathers and sons
