lyrics

We better learn to love our children
Our long-hair, drifting sons.
We better learn to love those babies
‘Cause God himself was one.

Lately I’ve been worried
That you’ll try to be like me.
But if i could choose
I’d rather be like you
And while you’re still little
Can we meet in the middle?
Can we meet in the middle?

I met you on a winter morning
The sun kept beating down
I met you on a winter morning
The nurse kept coming ‘round

And since then i’ve been worried
That you’ll try to be like me.
But if i could choose
I’d rather be like you
And while you’re still little
Can we meet in the middle?
Can we meet in the middle?

My mother told me that even the sun does burn
My father just said “boy, you’re gonna learn.”

We better learn to love our children
Our long-hair, drifting sons.
We better learn to love those babies
‘Cause God himself was one.
