I've made a list of things that meant a lot to me, put 'em on my pillow for the morning after
Mother, don't you cry, yes, I'll know you tried
Just remember all the love and laughter we felt
Voices carry through my mind, they're telling me it's time
So long, so long, so long

This decision has been given, despite the rights that we have wronged
Embrace the moments or we'll miss them
That's the warning for this morning, son

A shadow of a man, staring back at me, said, "Son, you're headed for a huge disaster"
No need to learn the truth, if you're gonna burn the proof
And no bandage heals the damage to my character
Voices carry down now, they're giving me a sign
Hold on, hold on, hold on

This decision has been given, despite the rights that we have wronged
Embrace the moments or we'll miss them
That's the warning for this morning, son

This decision has been given, despite the rights that we have wronged
Embrace the moments or we'll miss them
That's the warning for this morning
And that's the warning for this morning, son, son
