Lessons to Be Learned

So here we are now, again
You've been doing
God knows what this time, boy
It's approaching the absurd
So many lessons to be learned

I know it's hard growing up
Waking up each day
To a different world, boy
You think you know, but it's a blur
So many lessons to be learned

Couldn't you just look up at me sometimes?
Just sometimes?
And let my love get through to you sometimes
You'll be fine, it's alright

My dad was here before me
He tried with temper
That didn't succeed, boy
I know that heart you're keeping in
One day your lessons will sink in

Couldn't you just look up at me sometimes?
Just sometimes?
And let my love get through to you sometimes
You'll be fine, it's alright

I know it's hard growing up
But you have everything
That you need, don't be scared, boy
Though it might take you some time
You'll go to the moon
But until you are there, boy
Stick it out, you're not the first
To feel trapped, alone or worse
And I'll be here, you have my word
Right through your lessons to be learned
