A lonely father stares at his new-born son.

Says "I promise I won't ever let you down".

But soon Daddy would fly away.

Momma says "Don't cry baby,

Everything will be okay.

I'm gonna fill you up with

everything you'll ever need,

To deal with what this harsh world can sometimes bring.

Cause it's a cruel, cruel world out there.

It's a cruel, cruel world my son.

It's a cruel, cruel world out there.

It's a cruel, cruel world".

So,

Dear Father:

You gave me the tools to go on outside.

Let me outside.

I won't ever let you down.

But I'd already heard these words,

Years before.

So why daddy, why daddy, why daddy, why did you fly on me?

Why daddy, why daddy, why daddy, why did you fly on me?

Sittin' on the front poarch sippin' grapes.

Watching the sun go to sleep in the distance.

Momma reaches out her dignified hand,

"Dear son I've always done the best I can.

So listen to these few words I have left to say."

She took a drink and she stared into the sun.

And this is what she said:

"You've gotta find the child inside you son,

You've gotta find the child inside you.

You've gotta find the child inside you son,

Never let it go, never let it go".

So open my cage, set me free.

I want to feel the wind smiling all over me.

It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

So gather our friends, all aboard.

Cause it's our life now,

Knowing it's our life now.

So,

Dear father you gave me the tools to go on outside.

Let me outside.

It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

It'll be one hell of a ride.
