My father died when I was 5 and I don't
But I think he was trying to make me a man
He used to say son, I don't now another way son
But I'm gonna try the best I can
And I don't know now if my father or his father
Or his father's fathers knew how to do that
And now I'm stuck here, just a memory of those years
And I still don't know who the hell I am
I need a change of mind
You know that you can turn back time
You know you're needing living proof
Of a change of mind
Another girl, another world, another time
That I thought would bring me all that I need
And I gotta say that every day that felt that way
Felt like I'd found my place to be
But something falls across, she's not the girl I thought she was
How good will change so suddenly
Now I'm wishing I could see her, didn't know how much I need her
And I'm still stuck with the same damn me
You know I'm needing change of mind
You know that you can turn back time
You know I need living proof
Of a change of mind
And I'm still on nine today
And I'm still on nine today
And I'm still on nine today
My sons look out for one another, I know they do
I raised them that way
Father to son, brother to brother we learn how to love
And we learn how to hate
But sometimes I think that time is running out
And there's still so much I've got to say
Son, you be looking for the reason you believe what you believing
I be telling you you're on your way
You know you need a change of mind
You know that you can turn back time
You know you need living proof
Of a change of mind
