Description
This is a song about our parents. It came about thinking of the different lives they lead before living the life that we know about. Realising there is much more to them than we think. We realize that we are similar to our parents in that they too experienced feelings of love, searching for adventure, wanting happiness and experiencing sadness - the same as we do. Essentially, we are all one and the same – just at different times in history.
Lyrics
Pappa was a school boy Pappa was a man who Shined his light through me, all through to you No i didn’t know him, but i know well that his friends did, Go! Pappa didn’t do maths, Pappa didn’t do stats But he taught me how to tie my shoe Pappa is a travelling man, pappa is an honest man, moved from town to town and found it hard to settle down, Pappa was a schoolboy, yeah.
