The story I tell you is old

In fact the oldest in the world

I feel that it must be told

'Til now no one's ever heard

Somewhere in time there's a school

A boy went there to read and write

You were nobody's fool

You quickly learned the game and how to fight

Then when he was ten years old his parents got divorced

Father was so cold and mother was so forced

It hurts so bad inside

He thought it was all his fault

He discovered it was a lie

All the things he once was taught

Tomorrow's child he cries

But only in his mind

He gets so cold inside

He leaves his ones behind, behind

Today he is a full grown man

Wife and children and a piece of land

He's got a steady job

No trouble in the way

Suddenly there she stands

Again in love he takes her by the hand

He tries to tell his wife

He wants this woman to stay in his life

Tomorrow's child he cries

But only in his mind

He gets so cold inside

He leaves his ones behind

This is not the curse of god

Nor of the accuser

It's the curse of mankind

An ordinary loser

The older says: you can go to hell

The younger says: she's crazy

He loves them both, they know this well

Pride hold them back, they lose him

Tomorrow's child he cries

But only in his mind

He gets so cold inside

He leaves his ones behind, behind

Women of this world today

Don't wow this world away

A man is fertile all his life

This need is not right to deny

I know it is not fair

But it's a fact, it's not that we don't care

Only one thing to do

Put in the law a man can marry two
