Raynie, my son
Don’t you ever do what your father has done
Just pick it up and run if you see the chance
Many will try
To tell you otherwise but know it’s all lies
Just to justify their own ways
I know it may seem far away
But you’ll have a son of your own some day
You will tell him what I tell you now
If I don’t get this clear to you somehow
Raynie, my dear
The one and only thing that may keep you here
Is just an aching fear of the consequences
And years will flow and you will grow
You’ll be older before you know
And one morning when you open up your eyes
You’ll realise your right time has past you by
Raynie, my son
Don’t you ever do what your father has done
Just pick it up and run if you see the chance
