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, the word goes around
From father to son to son...

Won't you hear us sing
Our family song? Ba ba ba ba 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

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
Thru' 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, father to son 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
