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 
Joyful the sound 
Word goes around 
Father to son to son 
Kings will be crowned 
Earth goes around
