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
Father to son to son
And every now and you
Time after time it keeps
Calling you calling you on the way
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
Our family song?
Now we hand it on
Take this letter that I give you
Hold 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
I wear that your wanna ear
I want you 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
