It's springtime now

The wild geese fly

Heading north along their highway in the sky

Something's changed in me

I want to let the world go 'round

I want to let the wild geese fly

Not try to knock one down



In my father's eyes

I see the springtime sun

As I spin away

I put away my gun



My dad looks at me

Coughs a nervous cough

I can see him wonder if I'm going soft

Maybe it's her love

That's made the change in me

Made me want to see

Wild things go free



In my father's eyes

I see the springtime sun

As I spin away

I put away my gun



Killing much too much

In the name of fun

'Til enough's enough

Put away the gun

Do you just cause pain to prove you're in control?

Do you become your father

Or do you break the mold?



In my father's eyes

I see the springtime sun

As I spin away

I put away my gun

In my father's eyes

I see him lose his son

As I spin away

I put away my gun
