In the tender embrace of life's crossroads, a heartfelt message unfolds between a parent and their child. The lyrics weave a story of generational transition, where wisdom and love are passed down like heirlooms. The parent acknowledges their own imperfections and struggles, urging the young man to carve his own path, free from inherited burdens. With gentle encouragement, they remind him to cherish the good memories of those who came before while forging his unique destiny. This poignant ballad is an ode to growth, resilience, and the unbreakable bond that transcends time.
Young Man
Lyrics
I had no words for you that Saturday
As we both watched our entire worlds change
Your hero fell just as you came of age
And I had no words, but now I know what to say
You're of me, not mine
Walk your own crooked line
I promise you'll be fine
Take the best parts of him
As your own life begins
Leave the bad news behind you
Young man, take a good look at my life and
Try to understand I've done my best
The best I know how to
And my blues aren't your blues
It's up to you
After the storm
There's nothing you can't navigate
Point to the truth
You'll see it's the only way
You're of me, not mine
Perfect in my eyes
You're gonna be alright
Take the best parts of him
As your own life begins
Leave the bad news behind
Young man, take a good look at my life and
Try to understand I've done my best
The best I know how to
And my blues aren't your blues
It's up to you
It's up to you
Young man, take a good look at my life and
Try to understand I've done my best
The best I know how to
And my blues aren't your blues
You'll walk in your own shoes
It's up to you
