Father To Son

A word in your ear

From father to son

Hear the word that I say

I fought with you

Fought on your side

Long before you were born

Joyful the sound

The word goes around

From father to son to son

And the voice is so clear

Time after time it keeps

Calling you, calling you on

Don't destroy what you see

Your country to be

Just keep building on the ground

That's been won

Kings will be crowned

And the word goes around

From father to son to son

Won't you hear us sing

Our family song?

Now we hand it on

But I've heard it all before

Take this letter that I give you

Take it sonny hold it high

You won't understand a word that's in it

But you'll write it all again before you die

A word in your ear

From father to son

Funny you don't hear

A single word that I say

But my letter to you

Will stay by your side

Through the years

Till the loneliness is gone

Sing if you will

But the air you breathe

I live to give you

Father to son

Father to son, to son

Joyful the sound

Word goes around

Father to son to son

Kings will be crowned

Earth goes around

Father to son to son

Joyful the sound

Word goes around

Father to son to son

Kings will be crowned

Earth goes around

Father to son to son

Joyful the sound

Word goes around

Father to son to son

Kings will be crowned

Earth goes around

Father to son to son
