lyrics

Abraham
I heard you graduated
Your whole family attended
Even mom

I heard you got a job now
In spite of all the loud mouths
Who claimed you wouldn't know how
Our dad must be so proud now

Little man
She begged you for near water
You settled for a garden
A station not much farther
Then soon came all the children
After much complication
But I bid congratulations
And wonder what you'll name them
Little man, I heard you gained some wisdom

People try to change you
Make your ambitions feel small
Things like, "it''s lonely at the top"
Yeah if you get there at all
Won't motivate you, their interest only
With spite for every failure you've had
They'll just keep dimming the light if you let them

I wish that you'd die sleeping
Your kids could spread your ashes with everybody laughing
We'll see if that revives you
Little man, I think you're getting smaller
Your last name getting stranger just like mine
Oh, little man, I'll see you at the station
