Father And Friend Lyrics
O, Papa sit down, and hear my song.
O, and if you feel like it then please sing along
No nothing that I wanna say, I haven't said before
But to use your words, you can never be too sure
See, even though. I don't always show. I'm glad that you're along.
Said I'm glad that you're around
O sonny, so strange, to hear and see
That someone so different, is a soul like me.
You may have gone right, where I would have gone left.
But son, that's alright. I will always have your back
See even though. I don't always show.
I'm proud of you, my son.
Old days, and all of the new wanting to be like you.
Every time I look at you. I see myself. I'm so proud of you.
For you help make me what I am.
A better man.
I'm just so proud of you.
O dad, your views in life. Tell me how they came to be.
Well see, I didn't know my father like the way that you know me.
Son, life is just too short. For us to never be in touch.
O that's why I want to tell you that I love you very much.
Oh even though, I don't always show. You know
And I want you to know that.
Every time I look at you. I see myself. I'm so proud of you.
For you help make me what I am.
A better man.
I'm just so proud of you.
I'm here and I'll be if I can a father and a friend.
Every time I look at you.
Every time I look at you. I see myself. I'm so proud of you.
For you help make me what I am.
A son and a friend.
I'm just so proud of you.
You know that one day too, I'll be walking in your shoes
Yeah and I know that you'll do fine cause you're a son of mine
Oh Hey papa tell me what you've learned so that I don't get my fingers burned
Son you'll see that as you go you'll make mistakes of your own
But that's okay man see you live and you learn
You live and you learn
O, and if you feel like it then please sing along
No nothing that I wanna say, I haven't said before
But to use your words, you can never be too sure
Said I'm glad that you're around
That someone so different, is a soul like me.
You may have gone right, where I would have gone left.
But son, that's alright. I will always have your back
See even though. I don't always show.
I'm proud of you, my son.
For you help make me what I am.
A better man.
I'm just so proud of you.
Well see, I didn't know my father like the way that you know me.

This song really strikes me in a kind of way. When I sing it I think a lot about the relationhip my father has with me. Also I believe Alain Clark, when growing up, starts to see his father more as a friend. At first you see your father as an all-know figure to who you have to listen. But after a while this feeling fades away; you gain the same level of knowledge and this results in a friendly relationship.
