What do you do with your sons and daughters?
When they make the same mistakes as you
What do you tell your sons and daughters?
When they turn out just like you
What is it I wonder?
What is it I wonder?
What is it I wonder?
That you want from me
What can you want from me son and daughter?
Now you've learned all you can from me
Have you found out my son my daughter?
You can't believe in all that you see
What is it I wonder?
What is it I wonder?
What is it I wonder?
That you want from me
Is it the wisdom of my umpteen years?
Or the sum of all my pain and tears
Is it the answer to all your sorrows?
I bear on a knife edge of all my morrows
Do you still need me?
Do you still need me?
Do you still need me?
Now that you're older
How can I help you my son my daughter?
What can I do to make you free?
How can I help you my son my daughter?
Now that I need you more than you need me
Do you still need me?
Do you still need me?
Do you still need me?
Now that you're older
