Father And Son
Theuns Jordaan Lyrics

It's not time to make a change
Don't rush into making significant life changes without taking the time to think things through.

Just relax, take it easy
Don't worry too much and take things one step at a time.

You're still young, that's your fault
You have the gift of youth, but it also comes with the responsibility of learning and growing.

There's so much you have to know
Life is full of experiences and lessons to be learned.

Find a girl, settle down
Find someone to share your life with and build a stable home.

If you want you can marry
Marriage is an option, but take the time to make sure it's the right choice for you.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
Despite the passing of time and the trials of life, one can find happiness and contentment.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
I've been through what you're going through and understand the difficulties you face.

To be calm when you've found something going on
Remaining composed in the face of adversity can be a challenge.

But take your time, think a lot
Don't rush into decisions without fully considering the consequences.

Why, think of everything you've got
Remember all the blessings you have in your life, and don't take them for granted.

For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
Make the most of every day, as tomorrow is not guaranteed; pursue your goals, lest they slip away the longer you wait.

How can I try to explain? 'Cause when I do he turns away again
It's hard to communicate with someone who doesn't want to listen or understand.

It's always been the same, same old story
This is a recurring issue that we've been through before.

From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
I've always been expected to follow the rules and listen to authority.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I've found a path I need to follow, even if it means leaving behind what's familiar.

It's not time to make a change
Once again, don't rush into big decisions too quickly.

Just sit down, take it slowly
Take a deep breath, relax, and don't let the stress of life overwhelm you.

You're still young, that's your fault
You have the privilege and responsibility of youth to learn and grow.

There's so much you have to go through
Life is full of obstacles and challenges you must face and overcome.

Find a girl, settle down
Once again, build a meaningful and stable life with someone you care about.

If you want you can marry
Marriage is an option, but take the time to make sure it's what you really want.

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
Despite the passage of time and the challenges of aging, you can still find joy and satisfaction in life.

All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
Holding in emotions and thoughts can build up over time and cause pain.

It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
It can be difficult to confront and deal with difficult emotions and situations, but it's worse to pretend they don't exist.

If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know not me
Sometimes other people's advice or opinions may not be applicable or relevant to your unique situation.

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
Once again, I've found a path I need to follow, even if it means leaving behind what's familiar and comfortable.

I know I have to go
I realize it may be difficult, but I need to take action and follow my path.
