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 out 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 the road is there Come on back, back Wash your hands and up to bed Mind your manners Or you're dead Mind the cars cos you've got school on Monday Put my trust in God Who is he I know not what Something mummy said to me one Sunday Maybe love is life but life is not Something I need plenty of Oh! I wish I'd never lived a day Now there's no one near me now Tell me what to do and how Take me let me 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 cos 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'll 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 what 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
