Sons & Daughters

 

Lyrics & music by

Rick Springfield and Matt Bissonette


Boy, look what you've done

You've barely begun to find the man you're meant to be

Young face in the sun, don't bury and run away from Guenevere's castle

 

Raise up your glasses, salute the masses, I'm king of this hill, where no one sat still

Hold up your matches, ashes to ashes and know that you will be free

 

Girl, you are someone though shell shocked and stunned who gets back on the horse and rides

With yesterday gone, today you are back in the saddle far from Lancelot's shadow

 

Blaze on with passion, clean up your scratches and conquer that hill and never sit still

Life isn't tragic, sometimes it's magic so know that you will be free

 

Take to heart a lesson learned for your sons and daughters

 

Break away from what you've heard, for your sons and daughters

Cool it down and don't get burned, love your sons and daughters

 

Raise up your glasses, salute the masses, I'm king of this hill, where no one sat still

Hold up your matches, ashes to ashes and know that you will be free

 

Blaze on with passion, clean up your scratches and conquer that hill and never sit still

Life isn't tragic, sometimes it's magic so know that you will be free

 

Take to heart a lesson learned for your sons and daughters

Break away from what you've heard for your sons and daughters

Cool it down and don't get burned, love your sons and daughters

 

Ho, Ho, hoo, hooo
