Picture Of You

I found a picture of you and me together
I was your child and you were still my father
I found a picture of you when you were younger
You were holding me up, you were so much stronger
I found a picture of you

And were they good times for you daddy?
When you were free and you were young?
Were they good times until the corporate world
Took a father from his son?
And were they good times weren't they father?
When you were safe and you could rest
Were they good times until the corporate world
Stole the heart right from your chest

I found a picture of you and you are smiling
Like after 50 long years, you found the best of life was now
And you would never trade it in for anything

See, I think there was a time, as you were holding me just then
You believed that more than money made the man
Then they told you were nothing unless you measured up
Pride is always the most bitter cup

Foto de ti

Encontré una foto de ti y yo juntos
Yo era tu niño y tú aún eras mi padre
Encontré una foto de ti cuando eras más joven
Me sostenías, eras mucho más fuerte
Encontré una foto de ti

¿Fueron buenos tiempos para ti, papá?
¿Cuando eras libre y joven?
¿Fueron buenos tiempos hasta que el mundo corporativo
Separó a un padre de su hijo?
¿Y fueron buenos tiempos, no es así, padre?
¿Cuando estabas seguro y podías descansar?
¿Fueron buenos tiempos hasta que el mundo corporativo
Robó el corazón directamente de tu pecho?

Encontré una foto de ti y estabas sonriendo
Como si después de 50 largos años, hubieras encontrado lo mejor de la vida ahora
Y nunca lo cambiarías por nada

Ves, creo que hubo un momento, mientras me sostenías en ese instante
Creías que más que el dinero hacía al hombre
Luego te dijeron que no eras nada a menos que te compararas
El orgullo siempre es la copa más amarga
