|
a word in your ear, from father to son |
|
hear the words 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 leeps |
|
calling you, calling you on |
|
don't destroy what you see, your country to be |
|
just keep on building on the ground that's been won |
|
kings will be crowned, the word goes around |
|
from father to son, to son |
|
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 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, father to, father to son |
|
joyful the sound, the word goes around |
|
from father to son, to son... |
|
kings will be crowned, the word goes around |
|
from father to son, to son... |
