Father and son 　　Cat Stevens

It's not time to make a change
Just relax--take it easy
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time--think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not...

How can I try to explain?
When I do--it turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way
And I know that I have to go away
I know, I have to go...

It's not time to make a change
Just sit down and take it slowly
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy

All the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard
But it's harder to ignore it

If they were right--I'd agree
But it's them--they know
Not me
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go

父與子　　凱特史蒂文斯

現在不是改變的時候
放輕鬆，慢慢來
你還年輕，那是你的錯
你要了解的事還很多
交個女友，安定下來
如果你想，就結婚吧！
看著我，我是老了
但我很快樂

我曾經像你現在一樣
我知道那並不容易
明明知道有事情正在發生，卻得保持冷靜
但慢慢來，仔細想想
想一想你擁有的一切
因為，你明天依然會在這裡
但你的夢想卻不一定........

我該怎麼解釋呢？
當我做了，機會再度轉身溜走
事情總是這樣
像同一個老故事
在我可以開始講述的剎那
我卻得努力傾聽
現在，我明白了
我知道我得走開
我知道，我該離開了

現在不是改變的時候
坐下，慢慢來
你還年輕，那是你的錯
你要經歷的事還很多
交個女友，安定下來
如果你想，就結婚吧！
看著我，我是老了
但我很快樂

過去我老是哭
把所有心事藏在心底
但那很困難
否認這些事是越來越難了

如果那都是對的，我會同意
但他們很清楚
那不是我
我知道我得走了
我知道，我該走了
