Listen, My Son


lyrics and music copyright (C) 1983 by Ernest Clark


                  Am                      G
Listen, my son, I know it's hard when you   learn the truth
    Am          F  G Am
   about yourself.
                    Am                   G
Listen, my son, let Truth take fire, for know that knowledge is
   C   G C
   power!
                      G                Am
All the Universe lies in my grasp, for I have learned what I must
   Em F
   know,
                      C           G
My only son, come and walk with me,
                         Am   F G Am
What a partnership we'll be!


Listen, my son, I know you think my behavior is monstrous.
But listen, my son, and take a look at the puzzle that is yourself.
See how little you have learned to now, see what feelings block
   your way,
Let me show you all that you could be,
I know how to set you free!


Listen, my son, come take my hand, it is your destiny!
Listen, my son, let go the past, free the power within your soul!
Ships and stars are but specks of dust when compared to the Will,
You and I now see this mystery,
Come and claim your destiny!


Listen, my son, your time is up, you have to make a choosing.
Listen, my son, you have no hope, save the majesty that I offer
To shape the Galaxy however we will, our domain by right,
Keep your dream and you will die its tool,
I don't think you're such a fool.


(Am)             F G Am
Listen, my son........
                 F G  Am
Listen, my son........
           Asus2/F           F G Am (barre 5)
It is your destiny......
