Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I grow up to be a man Like my father was when I was young I hope I can make him so proud of me Proud enough to call me his son Ooh yeah [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] What makes these people so different now? What makes these times so strange? Seems most people got most everything they need How come we see this change? [Chorus] Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul When will we ever learn? Yet I'm a believer [Verse 3] When I was a boy, did we have more respect? This world seemed a nicer place to be But time slowly passes, and one day you look around You hardly recognize what you see [Chorus] Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul Now when will we ever learn? But I'm a believer [Bridge] We're all sons of our fathers Sometimes I feel like mine And I can hear him say the things I say Seems all things come around in time Ooh woah [Verse 4] Why these things happen we'll never know Guess that was then and this is now We always knew that change was gonna come But I wanna go back Please tell me how [Chorus] Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul When will we ever learn? Yet I'm a believer Oh yeah Beyond our control Beyond our control
