Father and Son

  Juni 14, 2008   
Lagu "Father and son " benar benar lagu yang mempunyai makna sangat dalam. Lagu ini berkisah tentang diskusi seorang Ayah dan anak tentang sesuatu keputusan yang besar dalam hidup yang akan di ambil. Beberapa komentar di songfacts.com mengatakan bahwa lagu ini mengisahkan seorang anak yang ingin ikut berperang, namun bapaknya tidak menyetujui, namun dari sekian komentar yang ada ada komentar yang menarik bahwa lagu ini merupakan lagu bagi cat Steven sendiri tentang pertentangan dengan ayahnya tentang agama. Saat itu cat steven ingin masuk islam. Sekedar info, cat steven sekarang berganti nama menjadi Yusuf Islam.

berikut ini lirik lagu dari Father and song  yang diambil dari http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/cat+stevens/father+son_20028183.html
Father

Its not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but Im happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy,
To be calm when youve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why think of everything youve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son

How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
Its always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father

Its not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
Youre still young, thats your fault,
Theres 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 Im happy.
(son-- away away away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)

Son

All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
Its hard, but its harder to ignore it.
If they were right, Id agree, but its them you know not me.
Now theres a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )
