The Fallen Pride

As the sun comes up
The skater drops down the slope
Slides, shreds and hops
Going up the ramp
High as a kite
Feeling like a champ
BAM! Under his feet, the board didn’t want to stay
Recovering from the heavy fall
He gets on his knees and hands, and rolls away
Composition – Cats in the Cradle

The song ‘’Cats in the Cradle’’ shows the innocence of a child towards his parents and how no matter what the parent does the child will always look up to them. The son says he wants to be just like his dad who is absent, and at the end he becomes exactly what the dad was. He doesn’t have time for his dad just like his dad didn’t have time for him. It shows that if you want your kids to be there for you when you are older you need to teach them the importance of family.
