Testo The Father's Song

That's another day gone by, son, close your eyes For the moon is chasing clouds across the skies Got to sleep and have no fear, son For your mam and dad are near, son And the giant is just a shadow on the wall Go to sleep and when you wake it will be light There's no need to fear the darkness of the night It's not like the dark you find, son In the depths of some men's minds, son That defies the daily coming of the dawn Stop crying now, let daddy dry your tears There's no bogeyman to get you, never fear There's no ogres, wicked witches Only greedy sons-of-bitches Who are waiting to exploit your life away Lie easy in your bed and grow up strong You'll be needing all your strength before too long For you'll soon be on your way, son Fighting battles every day, son With an enemy who thinks he owns the world Don't you let 'em buy you out or break your pride Don't you let yourself be used then cast aside If you listen to their lying They will con you into dying You won't even know that you were once alive No more talking now it's time to go to sleep There are answers to your questions but they'll keep Go on asking while you grow, son Go on asking till you know, son And then send the answers ringing through the world
