[Verse 1] Richard hello, I know it’s 4am on New Year’s Day I never made it home last night, alright I'm minor so they dropped the charge and I’ll be out today I know that that won’t make it right It’s never black and white but
[Pre-Chorus 1] Richard, you taught me all I need to know But there’s some things you can’t prepare for All I ever want to do Is be as good a man as you
[Chorus] So don’t you be concerned, the kid’s alright I’ve got to live and learn The kid’s alright I know that you will see The kid’s alright I’ll find my way eventually
[Verse 2] Richard your tears fall on the wheel as you wipe them away I’ve never seen you so far gone along The snow is tumbling as you're wondering what you didn’t say When I’m the one who got it wrong I try to keep you calm, cause
[Pre-Chorus 2] Richard you showed me what was wrong or right But now I gotta live my own life I will fall along the way But I’ll remember what you said
[Chorus] So don’t you be concerned, the kid’s alright I’ve got to live and learn The kid’s alright I know that you will see The kid’s alright I’ll find my way eventually
[Bridge] Woah woah Reach out Richard Woah woah Reach out Woah woah Reach out Richard Woah woah Reach out
I know you see yourself inside my eyes Oh-oh reach out Richard don’t worry cause the kid’s alright Oh-oh reach out I gotta live and learn
[Pre-Chorus 3] Richard you barely made it out of school Well look at everything you’ve been through Apples fall right from the tree As long as you are here for me
[Chorus] So don’t you be concerned, the kid’s alright I’ve got to live and learn The kid’s alright I know that you will see The kid’s alright I’ll find my way eventually
[Chorus] So don’t you be concerned, the kid’s alright I’ve got to live and learn The kid’s alright I know that you will see The kid’s alright I’ll find my way eventually
