Lately my son, I've been confused
Don't know what to tell you
'Cause it's all such bad news
Lately my son, I've been discouraged
I look around and it fills me with worry
What kind of world can I offer to you?
Will it all lead
Do we have the sense to make it through?
I've tried to figure it out
To have an answer, I can tell to you
But all I can see, all I can see
I am here for you, you are here for me
It's an on goin' process
I will take care of you, you will take care of me
If we're gonna make some progress
Lately my son, I feel ashamed
For many things that have happened
And are happenin' again
Really my son, I thought we'd learned
From what I see around me, it's still a very tough world
But all I can hope is that you take it as a challenge
To create something new that will take you far
I know that you can manage
To scatter some hope
'Cause it's not too late to repair the damage
The way it should be, so easy to see
That I am here for you and you are here for me
It's an on goin' process
I will take care of you, you will take care of me
If we're gonna make some progress
Ohh
You gotta believe, never be afraid to dream
But follow it through
'Cause it won't get done unless it comes from you
You gotta make it all work
For the ones that are comin' after you
Though hard it may seem, you gotta believe
I am here for you and you are here for me
It's an on goin' process
I will take care of you, you will take care of me
If we're gonna make some progress
I am here for you
It's an on goin' process
I will take care of you
If we're gonna make some progress
I am here for you and you are here for me
On goin' process
I will take care of you, you will take care of me
If we're gonna make some progress
