Father To Son - Remastered 2011

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?
(Ba, ba, ba, ba) ooh, yeah
(Ba, ba, ba, ba)
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, yeah, yeah

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 'til 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
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
