When I grow up to be a man Like my father was when I was young
I hope I can make him so proud of me Proud enough to call me his son oh yeah
What makes these people so different now
What makes these times so strange
Seems most people got most everything they need
How come we see this change
Our sons and daughters seem To be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast They're losing their soul
When will we ever learn yet I'm a believer
When I was a boy did we have more respect
This world seemed a nicer place to be
But time slowly passes And one day you look around
You hardly recognize what you see
Our sons and daughters seem To be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast They're losing their soul
Now when will we ever learn but I'm a believer
They're beyond your control
We're all sons of our fathers
Sometimes I feel like mine
I can hear him say the things I say Seems all things come around in time oh
Why these things happen we'll never know
Guess that was then and this is now
We always knew that change was gonna come
But I want to go back please tell me how
Our sons and daughters seem To be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast And they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn Yet I'm a believer oh yeah
Beyond your control
Oh they're beyond your control
