The story I tell you is old
In fact the oldest in the world
I feel that it must be told
'Til now no one's ever heard
Somewhere in time there's a school
A boy went there to read and write
You were nobody's fool
You quickly learned the game and how to fight
Then when he was ten years old his parents got divorced
Father was so cold and mother was so forced
It hurts so bad inside
He thought it was all his fault
He discovered it was a lie
All the things he once was taught

Tomorrow's child he cries
But only in his mind
He gets so cold inside
He leaves his ones behind, behind

Today he is a full grown man
Wife and children and a piece of land
He's got a steady job
No trouble in the way
Suddenly there she stands
Again in love he takes her by the hand
He tries to tell his wife
He wants this woman to stay in his life

Tomorrow's child he cries
But only in his mind
He gets so cold inside
He leaves his ones behind

This is not the curse of God
Nor of the accuser
It's the curse of mankind
An ordinary loser
The older says: you can go to Hell
The younger says: she's crazy
He loves them both, they know this well
Pride hold them back, they lose him

Tomorrow's child he cries
But only in his mind
He gets so cold inside
He leaves his ones behind, behind

Women of this world today
Don't wow this world away
A man is fertile all his life
This need is not right to deny
I know it is not fair
But it's a fact, it's not that we don't care
Only one thing to do
Put in the law a man can marry two
