Arlen Griffey
Casper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We didn't have much money because I was in the army
Ben was smart enough to do anything he wanted
He could easily have become a doctor, lawyer, scientist
His love for music was very clear
Early on, when he started singing all of the words
To Michael Jackson and his most of songs
When he was five, Benjamin was mixing his own cassette tapes
His favorite album to sample was Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
And that resulted in numerous special cassettes for Benjamin alone
I'm very proud of my son for following his dream in music
And refusing to surrender to the pressures of a tangled world
The things I wish for Ben's future are be happy
Stand up straight for your beliefs, remember your family
And help people whenever you can

However, his passion for music was evident from a young age, as he would sing along to Michael Jackson's songs and create his own cassette tapes using a turntable and cassette tape deck.
The father expresses pride in Benjamin for pursuing his dreams in music and not giving in to the pressures of the world. He hopes that Benjamin will continue to prioritize his own happiness and values while also remembering the importance of family and helping others.
