Michael listen to me I’m old, I’ve seen life come and go And I can tell you what I know Hear me out and then I’ll let you be My son, I know your mind I see you still like a little boy You’re always after some new toy You’re never pleased with what you find Hungry restless boy Born with the restless way You will find your happy dream someday You think the pearly gates Will swing wide open just for you See all the work you have to do Until you’re ready, can’t you wait Hungry restless boy Born with the restless way You will find your happy dream someday See how you run You won’t take from your father’s hand You turn your back on the promised land Do you still call yourself a son The people that you try to be You think you’re different, you change your name I can see through you, you’re just the same You still look like a Jew to me Hungry restless boy Born with the restless way You will find your happy dream someday On a cold day you were born The wind took breath as your breath did start The wind still lives inside your heart Blowing up strong like a storm
