Maybe it's good enough, maybe you deserve better
Maybe when you're gone away, write me a letter
Sayin' that you're happy now, good job old man
There were ups and downs but I understand

You couldn't give up control but in the end
You had none at all
Did it really matter at all?
You had a vision, you had a plan
But in the beginning
I was the child and the man

Maybe I'm just gettin' tired, need a break from the pressure
Maybe just a holiday, make it all better, maybe not
I never know, these days I don't
Seems like you know more than I thought

Should I just give up control if in the end
I have none at all?
Does it really matter at all?
I have a vision, I have a plan
Am I forgetting
You are the child and the man?

I see you now and I love the sight
We made it through, we did alright

I couldn't give up control but in the end
I had none at all
Did it really matter at all?
I had a vision, I had a plan
But in the beginning
You were the child and the man

I couldn't give up control but in the end
I had none at all
Did it really matter at all?
I had a vision, I had a plan
But in the beginning
You were the child and the man

I see you now and I love the sight
We made it through, we did alright
