| | Father and Son Lyrics Artist(Band):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, Why, think of everything you've 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. 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. Father It's not time to make a change, Just sit down, 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. (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, 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. Now there's 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?) If you find some error in Father and Son Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.

Review about Father and Son wise and deep till the bone | Reviewer: ismailo | 6/17/09 firstly i want to thanks cat / yusuf islam about this great song and may allah be wiht him . i liked this song itis really amazing but at the same time it makes me sadly little bit , because it makes me to think about when the father and his children will have a commoon thinking when it wil finish this misunderstanding between the father and his children why always of them he is in another valey and he says what he wants without of listening to each other !! i hope i will not do the same with children. who know may this generational gap will last forever . Generational gap | Reviewer: Sergio | 5/29/09 Many years ago, when I was about 20, my father, who does not speak english and certainly had never heard this song told me something that I have never forgotten. He said: "son, this that is now known as the generational gap is not new. It existed in my time, although it did not have a name. And it must have existed in my father's time, also. Your generation has not discovered anything new and what is happening to you will happen between you and your children. It's just natural for you to try to find your own road, it's happened before and it will keep happening to the end of times." He was, of course, right, and Cat Stevens put in music and words in a beautiful way. Although he added something else: the fact that many parents will resist change and will try to go against human nature and row against the natural flow of things. And that, too, will keep happening till the end of time. Great song 40 years and still now - thanks Yusaf aka Cat | Reviewer: Florida Mom | 5/16/09 Loved this song when I was a teen/young adult and now seeing him tonight on Jimmy Fallon perform it once again brought tears to my eyes. This song can be for fathers and daughters too, just remove the word "girl" and replace with "boy" or "guy"...find a boy, settle down...if you want, you can marry. I see a poster from 2005 here asked what the lyrics were about, was it about Vietnam? No, it's about every person's personal turmoil from 18-28 years old, we all go through some heavy stuff, guys and gals....it's not gender specific this turmoil. Things do get better in your late 30s, 40s, and 50s, much much less baggage than one has in one's 20s-30s. Nice to see Cat still doing his thing, loved his outfit, glad he was lookin' very western, loved (and respected) the full beard and reasons for same. G_d bless you, Cat/Yusef! it brings tears | Reviewer: John Sr | 5/10/09 Every time I hear this song it bring tears ot my eyes. My own sun and I are distant, but not from lack of my trying. I pray every day for him and hope that one day we will be as one would hope for, but the days are getting fewer for me and the tme may come when the daylight will end and that will be my one regret in life. I love you Son. Wise words | Reviewer: jkenwright | 1/25/09 These words of wisdom not only apply to his or your son but daughters too.The sad irony is that young kids don't worry about these values any more or worry about making thier way in the world, they want the world handed to them with little effort, they have been robbed of the valuable feelings of achievement from work and personal effort. Cat Stevens could show his considerable song writing talents by producing a new modern version of this song reflecting on what did eventually take place over this young mans life. How interesting would that turn out to be. father and son | Reviewer: jhosua | 12/9/08 I just heard Boyzone's Father and son, but I must say Cat Steven is a very great songwriter,especially the lyric of this song,everytine I listened that,I will think of my Dad and me,I will cry.And Boyzone performed really well in concert,thanks!Cat& Ronan it's an excellent song | Reviewer: koyaychan | 7/27/08 i've been listening to this father & son song . i felt so strange to listen it. It described the love of father to his son. i sang this song infront of my great father to honor him indeep . cos, he's been advising me how to settle down in life, he knew that i was lack of life experience to step the new coming days. thank father , and thank indeep Cat & Ronan comments on father and son | Reviewer: hicham el yahyaoui | 3/28/08 I am a moroccan teacher. I teach English. I really enjoy teaching this song in my class.My students like the content of the song very much. If you are teaching English as a foreign langauge. Please try father and son.It is about a father trying to advise his son since the father thinks that his son does not have much experience in life.the problem is that the father only gives advice without trying to listen to his son.( ..there is a huge gap between the two....) great song | Reviewer: awais | 10/27/07 it amazing but i still cant get what is yousuf islam trying to say. everytime there is a different meaning. amazing song. a really tallented song writer yousuf. great song | Reviewer: moh | 9/2/07 this song is great like his performed (Yusaf Islam), I DO NOT FINT TO SAY ONLY, IT IS GREAT GREAT GREAT ............?????????
