Fear in a young one with innocence
A crisis I must resolve to handle with
Competence
He wants to know if he will be taken too
He worried - he asked me point blank
Will I ever be as old as you?
He just afraid at a young age
Dont want to leave you at a young age

Son I am sorry that things are not always
The way they appear
And dont you think about it anymore today
Weve got plenty of time-so just for now
Please-

Keep me in sight - do as I say son
Please remember I cant always be there
So walk fast, look worried.

How did he think of such a question?
Im sorry I have to be the one
That changes his perception
Wish we could keep things just like
We had before - an illusion
The point is our survival is the only thing
Were living for
Im just afraid at a young age
Want to say the right words at a young age......

Son I am sorry that things are not always
The way they appear
And dont you think about it anymore today
Weve got plenty of time-so just for now
Please-

Keep me in sight - do as I say son
Please remember I cant always be there
So walk fast, look worried (x2)
Walk fast, look worried.......(x4)

Sorry son, but Ive just begun
Dont mean to break up all the fun
Walk fast, look worried
So disengage while your at the age
That you really dont care
Walk a line, keep it true
cause theres more to life than Ive told you
Theyll take your money - take your pride
Gonna sell you on the dark side..........
Walk fast, look worried.
