Иван Иваныч feat. Джарэк For son

They never taught me how to be a dad
But I have always dreamed of what I had
They never taught me how to be a man
But can that be the reason, if I can?

We waited for you, son, for so long
And then you came, a miracle, a song
You lit our world up with your holy light
And filled our souls with joy, so pure and bright

Beat the drums, beat the drums, make them roar
Find the echo in the hearts you're fighting for!
Beat the drums, beat the drums, make them roar
Find the echo in the hearts you're fighting for!

The hearth is warm, your laughter fills the room
Dispelling all the shadows and the gloom
A parent wishes for their son to find
A life of glory, leaving fame behind
But what is more important, tell me true
What do you want to be? What will you do?
A mighty hero, or a king of thought?
A scientist whose deeds can't be for naught?
Or just a teacher, wise and kind?
The choice, my son, is only in your mind

Beat the drums, beat the drums, make them roar
Find the echo in the hearts you're fighting for!
Beat the drums, beat the drums, make them roar
Find the echo in the hearts you're fighting for!

There will be many people on your way
Some will be with you through the night and day
Some will appear and vanish in a flash
But even they will leave a mighty clash
But still, my son, there will be evil ones
Listen to your heart it shines like a hundred suns
The bad is not a villain every time
And not all souls will pay for their past crime

Beat the drums, beat the drums, make them roar
Find the echo in the hearts you're fighting for!
Beat the drums, beat the drums, make them roar
Find the echo in the hearts you're fighting for!

This is my final word of guidance, son
Don't try to please them all it can't be done
Don't take their judgment to your heart so deep
When you hear whispers as you try to sleep
It means you're going where you ought to be
Someone will say that you redeem me
They will be wrong You are my flesh and blood
My only son This is enough
When I am gone, you will not be alone
Listen to reason let your spirit be shown
Remember this a father's sins and flaws
Are lessons for you These are the laws
The parents' dreams are not your destiny
Remember this just live and simply be
