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
