Parents

When I was a little boy
they would say to me:
"Don't go in the world and play
it's bad company."
All they had was child and faith
Let him grow and let him wait,
Just to find what it was to be free
But now I'm over twenty one,
Growing up I've had my fun
And I know it's got to be
Baby lying in a womb
Are you free or in a tomb?
Let me in,
I feel I want to cry.
Oh, the road is there,
Oh, that road is there!
Come on back, back..
"Wash your hands and up to bed.
Mind your manners or you're dead.
Mind the cars cus you've got school on Monday."
Put my trust in God.
Who is he? I know not what.
Something mommy said to me one Sunday.
Maybe love is life but life is not
It's something I need plenty of.
Oh! I wish never lived a day.
Now there's no one near me now,
to tell me what to do and how
Take me back and sing my cares away!
Oh, the road is there
Oh, that road is there
Come on back, back!
"Wash your hands and up to bed.
Mind your manners or you're dead.
Mind the cars cus you've got school on Monday."
Black is black and white is white
Which to choose and which is right
.. guide me to a place where I can stay.
Wrap me up and keep me warm
Hide myself far from the storm
Sleep and love will keep my mind at rest.
Only now I realise how my parents had to try.
Love you all, and keep you all my life.
Oh, that road is there
Oh, the road is there!
Come on back, back...
