    The passage describes a conversation between a father and son where the father gives advice to his son about settling down and being patient, while the son feels a need to leave and go his own way.

    The father advises his son to relax, not rush into changes, realize he is still young, there is much to learn, consider finding a partner and starting a family if he wishes, and points out that while he is old he is happy with his life.

    The son feels misunderstood by his father, wants to explain himself but the father does not listen, and believes he needs to leave and go his own way despite what his father says.

    Father and son


    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
    It's not time to make a change,
    Just sit down, take it slowly.
    You're still young, that's your fault,
    There's so much you have to go through.
    Find a girl, settle down,
    if you want you can marry.
    Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
    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.
