Looking back to when I was a little boy
Mummy and daddy raised me with love and joy
Try to do the same with my boys today
It's a whole new world but good values stay the same
And I know you'll make me proud my sons
You'll be better men than I ever was
Never let this cold world bring you down
And I know you'll be alright
When I'm gone
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Life goes on no matter what you do
Just remember to be true to you
Fight for what is right and turn away from the wrong
Knowing between the two will make your spirit strong
And I know you'll make me proud my sons
You'll be better men than I ever was
Never let this cold world bring you down
And I know you'll be alright
When I'm gone
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
After all I've done the good Lord has been kind
Of all that I've achieved nothing greater comes to mind
I thank two of you for turning me into a man
Now you are the future of the Curtis Clan
And I know you'll make me proud my sons
You'll be better men than I ever was
Never let this cold world bring you down
And I know you'll be alright
And I know you'll make me proud my sons
You'll be better men than I ever was
Never let this cold world bring you down
And I know you'll be alright
When I'm gone
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
When I'm gone
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Never let this cold world bring you down
And I know you'll be alright
When I'm gone
