Dad says it's striking

How I look like you

And how we share the same eyes

Yes, he swears I'm just a smaller

Form of you



But brittle bones and a wisp of white hair

Are all I see in that old rocking chair



Tell me, how long have you been around ?

And how long 'til you're underground ?

Tell me, how can a son be a father ,

A mother a daughter

And I be a man someday ?

Well, I wonder

Yes I do, I really wonder



Could I belong to someone so old, who

Can only speak in whispers

And who cannot hear a single word I say



You're a man with a quivering hand

How we're connected

I just can't understand



(Chorus)



But when I think of

How you smile

And the way you look at me

It isn't hard to recognize

That you belong to me,

that you're a part of me



Tell me, how can a son be a father

A mother a daughter,

And I be a man someday ?

Well, I wonder,

Yes I do, I really wonder
