引用文章：吾子亦吾師

(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 its 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-- away away away, I know I have to

Make this decision alone - no)

(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.

(father-- stay stay stay, why must you go and
Make this decision alone? )


[Music] Father and son by Cat Stevens

這是首非常有意思的歌, 故事的內容是在描述在俄國大革命時期, 一個傳統家庭裏父子的爭執. 父親試圖說服孩子, 你的年紀還太小, 還不到改變的時候, 許多事物必須要學習, 待在我的身邊, 就算你想要安定下來, 結婚生子都可以. 孩子卻想讓父親明白, 他有自己的理想要去追求, 參加革命, 他無法忽視自己內心澎湃的激情.

孩子像面境子, 反射自己成長的過程, 但我卻忘了, 年輕時的我在乎什麼, 想要什麼? 何時該學會放手, 讓子女去追尋自己的天空, 似乎真的不是件那麼容易的事!
