You see the universe, which consists of the sun moon and starAnd them planets, that exist in my spaceLike man woman and childYou understand?We got to keep it real, and what reality and reality will keep it real with usI remember them good ol daysBecause see, that's the child I wasWhat made me the man I am todaySee cause if you forget where you come from, hehehYou're never gonna make it where you're goin, ahehBecause you lost the reality of yourselfSo take one stroll through your mindAnd see what you will findAnd you'll see a whole universe all over againand again and again and again and again

do we have to have separate threads for father to daughter, mother to son, and mother to daughter?

"Daddy?""Yes son?""What does regret mean?""Well son, a funny thing about regret is, that it is better to regret something that you have done. Than to regret something you haven't doneAnd by the way, if you see your mom this weekend be sure to tell her... SATAN SATAN SATAN SATAN"- Orbital 'Satan'

Springsteen's "Walk Like A Man" doesn't have any directly stated father to son lines. More of a follow my example thing.
"My Hometown" has the line "son, take a good look around, this is your hometown." Fact check: yes. Advice? Not that clear especially as the town changes during the song.

“Patches” to thread. Along with “Only the Strong Survive.”

not sure what advice there is in patches, unless it's the implicit 'life sucks and is unfair'.

Son, this world is roughAnd if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be toughAnd I know I wouldn't be there to help ya alongSo I give ya that name and I said goodbyeI knew you'd have to get tough or dieAnd it's the name that helped to make you strong

Yes @ "Memo to My Son." Sort of a parody of this genre, from the POV of a dad who's insecure about his intelligence and has nothing but platitudes to offer.
