Go or Stay

It's just a long way to the city
stay here, countryside is beautiful
get a quick flight back
to your old home town
don't you know my son
the city brings you down

Refrain
Go or stay, be lucky on your way
stay or go, don't wait on me say no
I know you are old enough
to make your way, you're tough
man you do, don't make me laugh
I gave you what I could give
I tought you how to forgive
an' all the skills you need to live
go or stay, be lucky on your way
stay or go, don't wait on me say no

Say good bye, but don't you say
farewell unless they ring my bell
home is more than a word
it's what you can afford
it's the place of an open ear
it's the place where there ain't no fear

Refrain

It's just a short way into the war
stay here, battlefield's too dangerous
want to die for peace
serving your country
can't hold you back, man
wait on me say no

Refrain

Imagination, imagination
noone has to go or stay
persuation, persuation
it's not the time to choose a way
expectation, expectation
live your childhood, plenty of time
education, education
go to school and play with friends
celebration, celebration
daddy takes you by your hands
contradiction, contradiction
what a nonsense in my head
I forgot you are still a kid

Refrain

It's your childhood now,
enjoy your youth,
forget about tomorrow
since your daddy cares for you
get a quick look back
here's your old home town
don't you know my friend
this years must never end

Refrain

Childhood, childhood
it's your childhood, don't go away!
