lyrics
dear boy here is a letter
providing some advice
I can tell you who I am
I am old and not so wise
try to stand more
on your own two feet
don't listen so much to
what other people say
stay in contact with your friends
you might need them and they may need you too
and please believe in yourself
have more confidence
follow your heart and
do what you want to do
don't be so shy
loosen up
don't be so hard
on yourself
tough times
will pass by
it's part
of life
and please believe in yourself
have more confidence
follow your heart and
do what you want to do
please don't go to university
to study things you don't really like
take a year off by plane or by bike
ask for advice, people will be nice
dear me
I know you won't listen
but I don't lie
please give this a try
providing some advice
I can tell you who I am
I am old and not so wise
try to stand more
on your own two feet
don't listen so much to
what other people say
stay in contact with your friends
you might need them and they may need you too
and please believe in yourself
have more confidence
follow your heart and
do what you want to do
don't be so shy
loosen up
don't be so hard
on yourself
tough times
will pass by
it's part
of life
and please believe in yourself
have more confidence
follow your heart and
do what you want to do
please don't go to university
to study things you don't really like
take a year off by plane or by bike
ask for advice, people will be nice
dear me
I know you won't listen
but I don't lie
please give this a try
