Until Now

As a little boy, greyed factories surround
You kick a football in the street
Hear the milk float sound
But he was lost in his head
Fed up of frost in his bed
And he would never be with a flat cap and whippet, they said

A 60's realisation. took on the entrepreneurs hat
Selling meat from a van with all the Del boy sav
But then he falls in love
A sceptic Dad resists
Its' time to ditch the wheeler dealing and become a banker
Her insists

Until now i never knew his fight
Social standards and feelings
The two can't requite
Until now, I never realised the demons
Living inside and outside a world unkind
Lesson learned not ever taught
Tell your son not to be caught

So now i feel new love for you
You weren't given a chance
Just played societies dance
I thanked god i spent that time with you
Where we opened up to see
A depth released outside
Even changing hear my cry
Did you make it when you died?
Look, feel, hold me hand
Father and son both understand
