Be Righteous - Sebastian Sturm

Be righteous

My parents said

Be righteous

Don’t hang out too much

Become a real man

God knows I’ve tried to follow them

But I didn’t quite succeed in growing up So I have to try again

Be patient

They used to say

Be patient

Love will come when you are old enough to realize

Lord knows I’ve tried to sit and wait

But I got tired of waiting for my fate to come

So I guess I’ll have to wait until my beard’s grown long

Be righteous

My parents said

Be righteous

Don’t hang out too much

Become a real man

God knows I’ve tried to follow them

But I didn’t quite succeed in growing up So I have to try again

Be patient

They use to say

Be patient

There’s so much, there’s so much

Time for growing old

And too much too much

Love to stay cold

I want to find my love before the morning comes

'Cause I know I have to take my chance

You might call it disobedience

But I know I have to take my chance

Be righteous

Why they always say

Be righteous
