A few years ago, my youngest son was going through a difficult time, and I wrote this song for him and then tricked him into playing on it before he knew what it was about. While working on the new AGNT album, this floated back up to the top and we decided to finish it up and release it.
Lyrics
Son, I see you so confused,
And it’s tearing me apart.
Just remember, she’s young too,
And she doesn’t know her heart.
If I can give you one piece of advice,
From an old man to the young,
When you see her start to cry,
It’s not your job to understand,
It’s just your job to love.
We all want to fix what’s broke,
To do the very best we can.
But some things they just can’t be fixed,
Even though you’re a man.
If I can give you one piece of advice,
From an old man to the young,
When you see her start to cryin’,
It’s not your job to understand,
It’s just your job to love.
So, if you see me searching for words,
Like I don’t know where to start,
Understand that though I’ve been there,
I’ve no more wisdom to impart.
If I can give you one piece of advice,
From a father to a son,
When you see her start to cryin’,
It’s not your job to understand,
It’s just your job to love.
It’s just your job to love.
It’s just your job to love.
