I first heard this song on the facebook from Cat Stevens or yusuf islams site.. The song was re recorded and sung together by Yusuf and Ronan Keating.. I really do not care much about music other than those that I have on my Ipod, which i only use when i go for a run... but this song really strikes me...its about the choices that we make, the relationship between father and son, the generation gap and hope...
after today... this song really cheered me up....

FATHER AND SON by
Yusuf Islam
Father
It’s not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy.You’re still young, that’s your fault,
There’s so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I’m happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy,To be calm when you’ve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,Why, think of everything you’ve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It’s always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy,
To be calm when you’ve found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,Why, think of everything you’ve got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I’d agree, but it’s them you know not me.
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go andMake this decision alone?
