Mother, Father, Son - Luka Bloom
They waited on the platform Mother, Father, Son Parents took the young man's arms Three got on Small talk to pass the journey On a Dublin train Going to the Dublin doctor Young man sat in pain He said: "Rebel's words and rebel swords They pushed into my face And Shakespeare and Latin verse and Words of market-place But now I make my journeys To sweeter greener lands My friends and I We dream of dreams You would not understand." I asked him if within his dreams Or in his secret plans He could see a ray of hope at all For the people in this land He said: "Love to see the walls and fences Coming down around their ears Love to see them standing naked With all the naked fears." Mother said: "He's just a young man He will change in time." (He said) "No, I won't go back there Not this time Chasing wealth and discipline Have been your only goals I feel peace in darker places In my soul, in my soul. He said: "Love to see the walls and fences Coming down around their ears, Love to see them standing naked With all the naked fears." Always told "Hide your feelings" Always told "Never show your feelings" But now I need to know my feelings, feelings. Love to see the walls and fences Coming down around their ears Love to see them standing naked With all the naked fears. Waving from the platform Watch them moving on Together in the city Mother, Father, Son Mother, Father, Son
