When first I saw you,
G
your life had just be gun

I was bound to love you,

my very soul was one.

But now the bonds are changing,
G

your childhood's nearly gone.
A
Soon you will go, my son.

I fed your hunger,
Em
I suffered all your pain
G

When you smiled, I'd answer,

Are we becoming strangers
that once did breathe

my son?
D
You wake in the morning,
G
but you're dreaming all the day.

At school you sit and gaze at
G
things so far away
D
Where old your hopes have faded
and yours have just begun
A
What do you dream, my son?
D
I've seen you watching,
C

G

amazement in your eyes
This world we've left you
G
a junk heap in disguise

When you watch us unbelieving,
we older wiser ones
G

you ask a question
you wait for my reply
G

but the world's so changed
G
sometimes you know as much as in

the new world that is coming
the old must ask the young
G
D
then where will you turn my son
A

when you've learned right from wrong,
