I Put Away My Gun

It's springtime now The wild geese fly Heading north along their highway in the sky Something's changed in me I want to let the world go 'round I want to let the wild geese fly Not try to knock one down In my father's eyes I see the springtime sun As I spin away I put away my gun My dad looks at me Coughs a nervous cough I can see him wonder if I'm going soft Maybe it's her love That's made the change in me Made me want to see Wild things go free In my father's eyes I see the springtime sun As I spin away I put away my gun Killing much too much In the name of fun 'Til enough's enough Put away the gun Do you just cause pain to prove you're in control? Do you become your father Or do you break the mold? In my father's eyes I see the springtime sun As I spin away I put away my gun In my father's eyes I see him lose his son As I spin away I put away my gun
