Between a Father and a Son

Jace Everett

Transposer:

(x2) Heywood was a daddy in 1942 He couldn't read or make his letters He said "Boy I hope you don't do like I do"  That was my dad he was talking to  So my father grew up stronger bigger dreams and bigger plans The first to go to college But he can still work hard with his two hands            Thanks to his old man Yeah he learned to throw a baseball How to sail a fishing line He learned about forgiveness 'Cause you just can't waste the time And the circle goes unbroken But there's so much left undone That's just how it is Between a father and a son I became a daddy at the age of 23 I didn't know what I was doing Hell my daddy wasn't through yet raising me            I felt lost at sea So I just kept it simple took it one day at a time And followed in the footsteps Of the men that came before me in my life            And we're doing just fine 'Cause you learn to throw a baseball How to sail a fishing line And you learn about forgiveness 'Cause you just can't waste the time And the circle goes unbroken But there's so much left undone That's just how it is Between a father and a son Yeah the circle goes unbroken But there's so much left undone That's just how it is Oh that's just how it is   Between a father and a son  A father and a son          Between a father and a son

La chanson évoque le lien essentiel entre un père et son fils à travers les générations. Elle parle d’un père qui, malgré ses limites, souhaite que son fils aille plus loin que lui, cultivant ainsi de nouveaux rêves et une éducation différente. Le récit suit l’évolution d’un fils devenu à son tour père, qui se sent perdu mais s’efforce de perpétuer les leçons et les valeurs transmises par son propre père. L’idée centrale est que, bien que des choses demeurent inachevées, cette continuité et cet apprentissage mutuel sont précieux dans la relation père-fils. C’est une belle réflexion sur l’héritage familial et sur les leçons de vie qui se transmettent de génération en génération.
