Restless Boy

Michael listen to me

I’m old, I’ve seen life come and go

And I can tell you what I know

Hear me out and then I’ll let you be

My son, I know your mind

I see you still like a little boy

You’re always after some new toy

You’re never pleased with what you find

Hungry restless boy

Born with the restless way

You will find your happy dream someday

You think the pearly gates

Will swing wide open just for you

See all the work you have to do

Until you’re ready, can’t you wait

Hungry restless boy

Born with the restless way

You will find your happy dream someday

See how you run

You won’t take from your father’s hand

You turn your back on the promised land

Do you still call yourself a son

The people that you try to be

You think you’re different, you change your name

I can see through you, you’re just the same

You still look like a Jew to me

Hungry restless boy

Born with the restless way

You will find your happy dream someday

On a cold day you were born

The wind took breath as your breath did start

The wind still lives inside your heart

Blowing up strong like a storm
