son, what you dont understand
my words might never explain
so I am hoping that time will

things may not go as you planned
dark clouds might bring you pain
but I will be in your heart still

telling you...

dont look down
dont feast your eyes on things that are on the ground
and if it gets hard to focus
when you're driving almost at the speed of sound
feeling nowhere bound
remember what I told you
and dont you dare look down

dont look down.... no

no father wants his son
to repeat the wrongs his daddy's done
I want you to get it right child
I wont always be here for you
so to yourself always be true
and if you get lost use your inner light child
shine it and dont look down
dont feast your eyes on things that are on the ground
and if it gets hard to focus
when you're driving almost at the speed of sound
feeling nowhere bound
almost out of control
burn rubber and not your soul
because something is within
that you can count on
when there is no hand to hold
and the world seems dark and cold
remember what I told you
and dont you dare look down
dont you dare look down
dont look down
when you're traveling almost at the speed of sound
dont you dare look down
dont look down
