I found a picture of you and me together
I was your child and you were still my father
I found a picture of you when you were younger
You were holding me up, you were so much stronger
I found a picture of you

And were they good times for you daddy?
When you were free and you were young?
Were they good times until the corporate world
Took a father from his son?
And were they good times weren’t they father?
When you were safe and you could rest
Were they good times until the corporate world
Stole the heart right from your chest

I found a picture of you and you are smiling
Like after 50 long years, you found the best of life was now
And you would never trade it in for anything

See, I think there was a time, as you were holding me just then
You believed that more than money made the man
Then they told you were nothing unless you measured up
Pride is always the most bitter cup
