Lyrics:
Father:
It’s not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You’re still young, that’s your fault
There’s so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I’m happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it’s not easy
To be calm when you’ve found
Something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Why, think of everything you’ve got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
Son:
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again?
It’s always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen
Now there’s a way, and I know that I have to go
Away, I know I have to go
Father:
It’s not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You’re still young, that’s your fault
There’s so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I’m happy
Son:
Away, away, away, I know
I have to make this decision alone - no
Son:
All the times that I’ve cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it
If they were right, I’d agree, but it’s them they know not me
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go - away
I know, I have to go
Backing:
I have
To go and make this decision alone - no

    I lost a Son, going on 6 years. Jimi was 39. Wonderful Human Being. His life was dedicated to the service of others. It's getting to be our seasons now, Fall, Winter. There's always a smell, crisp breeze, a song, your song that takes me back. I used to play it on guitar for him when he was young. Teared up, Brother. Thank you.

    This hit me hard. My mother passed from cancer in the winter of 2017. I was 25 years old. I live with my and Dad and we went through that loss together, and the pain is still tremendous. My Dad is getting old, in his mid 70s. I look a lot like him, the older I get, the more I see it. I'm so much like him. He's always wanted the best for me. He's moved mountains for me. Given me an amazing upbringing. Sometimes I get frustrated with him, just because I'm his son, we're from different generations and our perspectives clash and we don't always understand each other. I have plans to move out in the near future, to seek my own space. But every now and then I stop and look at him, take him in, and see how lonely he is. How much he's lost and my heart breaks. This animation was like looking objectively on us both. I'm a musician, I play drums and guitar a lot. It's my escapism, where I exorcise my demons, my frustrations. Purge my pain. So much about this video was so accurate. My Dad is the best man I have and will ever know, and I love him more than anything. I must remember to listen to him, understand him as a man, the amazing man he is, what he's been through, respect his wisdom. He won't be around forever and he means the world to me. To all who made this video to one of my all time favourite songs, I thank you sincerely for it.

    Thanks for sharing this. I'm probably closer to your dad's age than yours. I got divorced when my children were 9 and 7. We lived in different cities and now different countries. They are in their 20s now. There's not a day, nor probably an hour when I don't think of them and miss them. Yet, I know that when I was their age I couldn't wait to get away and I did. For many years I kept away and only had fleeting visits. I married and had a different life far away. One day my mother called. She asked me to return to see my dad. He died in my arms three weeks later. No, we never fully reconciled. There wasn't time in the end and he was increasingly out of it. So what can I say to you? I would say talk to him, your father. Tell him about the conflict you feel, but do not ask him to make the decision for you. Move out if you want to. You need space and I can understand that. But tell your dad that you'll see him often, and do this more frequently than you said. In between, call and speak to him. Ask for his advice and even help. Go away somewhere together (Covid permitting!). Share and create memories. Because when the time comes, as it will, you will know through your tears, that you let him go with love. Fare thee well!

I miss my father. Thank you Brother Yusef for this song. I play it everyday now and have my kids listen. They ask why I play it constantly. I just tell them to hear the words. I hope those words resonate with them and reach their kids one day. Thank you Yusef

    I lost my dad very shortly before Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 came out and was not prepared for the context in which they used this song. I was adopted (as a baby) so the whole thing was just very timely. Now, because of that movie, I can't hear this song without getting flooded with memories of a loving father I probably could've listened to more. I hope that anyone who feels strong emotions when they hear this song is reminded of being loved.

    My Dad was a 24/7 abusive drunk. Guns, knives, bats, etc... Once he used the hose off the back of a washing machine. Until you get whipped with a rubber hose you've never really been whipped. He straightened up at the end of his life. He was 56 when he died in 1988, I was 32. I knew he grew up rough too, add to that 51-52 in Korea. We didn't understand at the time the ills & woes of PTSD. Anyway, he atoned for his sins to me, apologized, rued. And yet it still bothers me today. Not so much anymore of what happened but what might have been. I feel you, friend.

    There is nothing more difficult in life than dealing with and experiencing a mentally sick parent. Parents are supposed to give you love and attention, not misery. Sometimes, we have to give ourselves what we weren’t given by our parents. I’m so sorry for all those who experienced a narcissistic parent. It’s hard to forgive them. I admire people who can forgive, but it’s so, so hard.

    I was a teenager when I first heard this song and just like the "Son," felt restless, misunderstood, and rebellious towards an older generation whom I thought clueless. Many, many decades later, with so much passing of time, I see the world more so through the eyes of the "Father. " Hearing this song now makes me nostalgic for the brave, young, (albeit nieve,) free spirit I was. Yusuf's, Cat Steven's, music resonates deep within me and has the power to help me recognize that although one may become jaded by life's hard knocks, that amazing youthful spirit still lives within, just waiting to be embraced. Thank you Yusuf, I am among so many others who's life has been touched by your light. Blessings.

    I can't help tearing up at this song - first when my dad and and I were butting heads in the mid-late 70's, then after we became best friends and started working together, then when I lost him in 1983 just six weeks after his diagnosis. Now I'm the dad and my oldest turns 30 in a couple of days - still as strong willed as when he was 15. Says something when a song, as old as this can still have the effect it does as told by the numerous comments below and still to come.

    I was raised on your music. My family on my dad's side were all huge fans of yours, so I was exposed to your songs from a very early age. Now that I'm older, I'm so glad they made me what I am today, and I just want to thank you graciously from the bottom of my heart for all the great music you have made over the years and keeping our family entertained. BTW, I never let any karaoke event go by without singing a few of your songs which I have loved so much.

    Cat Stevens, Malcolm X, Bruce Lee, and Muhammad Ali are all names I often write down as my teachers who lived the past 100 years or so. And to see the other 3 in a Cat Stevens Music video of one of my favorite songs is just wow. A lot of his songs have really captured the life journey I've been on and I think this is still the best song to capture the conversation between a parent and their children and the common struggles they all face.

    Absolutely breaks my heart every time I listen to this song. when I was a girl of 13 this song made a profound memory in my heart. I loved every word. it was 1973. I then married at 16 in 1978, and have a 42 year old son whos own father has not spoken to him for over 15 years now. it breaks my heart to see my son living his life with no Dad. Cat Stevens /Yusuf has had a real impact on my life. When I was 12 we sang Morning Has Broken on Stars On Sunday a religious program in the past that was very popular. This life introduced me to the man who I came to love and admire ever since. I once sent a message to him to tell him I loved Father and Son and he replied to my excitement for a month after it . Thank you for making my memories good Yusuf I have every song and probably know them all my heart.... I cant keep it in ... lol

    You know how I feel about this song! It can be said of a young woman as well. I was the obedient youngest child and daughter. I stayed with my parents, taking care of their needs long before my wants and needs. Mom died first, never telling my sister how much she loved her. I’ve given up trying to convince her that Mom truly loved her; but spare the rod and spoil the child was the way Mom and Dad were brought up and it carried over into my generation. I took care of my Dad, though I lived on my own. When he was dying from prostate cancer, my sister, brother-in-law and I were the ones who took the time to visit dad. My brothers couldn’t even go to shave him.
