Son, You Are No Island

Son, you are no island

You don't get to choose what stays and goes

Son, you're not a man yet

Until your "yes" is "yes" and "no" is "no"

Son, you are no mountain

You and the sky aren't seeing eye-to-eye

Son, you're not a man yet

You're just a first-born feeling left behind

Son, you are no ocean

No sunken gold pervades your salty bowels

Son, you're not a man yet

You dove to save a child who must be drowned

You'd drown to save yourself

You'd drown to save yourself

Son, you are no chasm

Your void holds no mystique to be unearthed

Son, you're not a man yet

No woman's arms could carry out your work

No, not even hers

No, not even hers

Son, you are no river

Your currents don't run steady as she goes

Son, you're not a man yet

You fucked with a woman who would know

I would know

I would know

I would know

I would know

I would know

I would know

I would know

I would know

I would know

I would know
