Letter to Her Son
Someone told me that nothing survives forever
And that applies to a lot of the ties we'll sever
I realize we were thinking our lies were clever
Like we could craft them and use them to hide endeavors
forever, and I'm speaking indefinitely
But now they're just messing with me
I thought I was destined to be a lesson
Especially blows
And I'm blessing my foes
I guess that's just how it goes
Listen, I know
They told me that's just how it goes
Listen, you know?
In fact, pay attention to your friends and love how they grow
And be patient if you can, because some of them won't
If you can, you should help them like friends should do
And if you can't, it's probably them--nothing wrong with you
Son, what's wrong to do?
Let it hobble you, or stick to your song that's true?
Let it bother you, or just be a song that's true?
Be a song that's true
It's kinda weird but realize it's the honest truth
It might be hard for you to see in your sonic youth
But you know what I speak is heart-felt
Never mind what cards dealt
Keep your head up
Son, don't let up
Just remember keep your head up,
the sun won't let up
Eventually your days brighten
Son, don't let up
