Pass

Safe on the bank my hand in his hand

Although I was small it was man to man

The river was wild and he looked down at me

And he smiled

It's a little bit sweet and a little bit sad

First you're the kid and then you're Dad

Who took from your boyhood

What your father had

And he knew

Like I do

This moment will pass

Like water over river stone

It's left to the past, past, past, past, past

As we stand by the river

Our feet in the grass

I know

It's already gone

I look at his watch, the river moves on

It's there on my arm from father to son

Like it will be yours when my time is done

And you'll know

From crawling to walking

To speaking from talking

From holding his hand

To him holding mine
