"The Other Side"

Well I know you think I don't understand you
Maybe sometimes that's true
And lately all we do is fight
When I try to talk to you
You've got your thoughts and I've got mine
And we both think we're right
You know some folks say we fight this way
'Cause we're so much alike

(Chorus)
I used to love this Cat Stevens song,
"Father and Son" on Tea For The Tillerman
I'd always sing from the child's point of view
(yeah...) I'd tell myself that when I had kids,
We'd be real close, yeah, we'd talk all the time
And it feels real strange to find myself on the other side
The other side

Well I know sometimes I'm too quick to tell you
What you must learn your own way
But man its hard to see you make
The same mistakes I made
And someday we'll both turn around
And you'll be on your own
Well I pray that we can work this out
While you're still here at home

(Chorus)

Have you heard that Cat Stevens song,
"Father and Son" on Tea For The Tillerman
You'd probably like that child's point of view (yeah...)
I think they sell it on CD now
Let's pick up a copy and check it out
Maybe you and I could learn to hear each other's side
The other side
