The generational divide has flipped. Cat Stevens wrote "Father and Son" where the son tries to get his father to understand his point of view. Here, a father attempts the reverse.

lyrics

Vale Of Pain - lyrics by Elyce and Benjamin Russell

Took a wrong turn on an astral plane
Landed here in this vale of pain
And I don't know how but I forgot my name
Lost my bearings so here I remain
In this vale of pain

Now children grow, pushing up too fast
Innocence can never last
And they grow cold, point and blame
So unfair - no love remains
In this vale of pain
Vale of pain, vale of pain

Veiled remarks become lies - so bold
Until today, they were never told
It was never, never plain

Took a wrong turn on an astral plane
Landed here in this vale of pain
And I don't know what you hope to gain
What a shame to love in vain
In this vale of pain
Vale of pain, vale of pain
Vale of pain, vale of pain
Vale of pain
