I recommend that you read "The Alchemist" Listen to your teachers, but cheat in calculus Tell the truth, regardless of the consequence And every day, give your momma a compliment Take your girl to the prom But don't get too drunk hanging out the limo Slow dance with your woman in your arms Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe Don't wake your mom up Do yoga, learn 'bout karma Find God, but leave the dogma The quickest way to happiness? Learning to be selfless Ask more questions, talk about yourself less Study David Bowie, James Baldwin and 2Pac Watch the sun set with best friends from a rooftop Wear a helmet, don't be stupid Jaywalk, but look before you do it If it snows, go outside, build a jump, get some help Get a sled, thrash the hill with your friends, 'til it melts Go to festivals, camp, fall in love and dance You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance Take risks, cause life moves so fast You're only young once, my loved one, this is your chance
They say boys don't cry But your dad has shed a lot of tears They say I should be a strong man But baby, I'm still filled with fear Sometimes I don't know who I am Sometimes I question why I'm here I just wanna be a good dad Will I be? I have no idea.
Слушай Сэма Кука «A Change Is Gonna Come», Старайся и не думай о награде, дорогая. Не пытайся изменить мир, найди то, что тебе нравится И делай это каждый день. Делай это до конца жизни И со временем мир изменится.
They say girls shouldn't be tough And moms should raise their kids at home But baby, I know that that isn't true Cause your momma's the toughest person I know I wanna raise you to be like her And watch you show the world how to do it on your own.
