A word in your ear, from father to son hear the words 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 leeps Calling you, calling you on Don't destroy what you see, your country to be Just keep on building on the ground that's been won
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around From father to son, to son
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 I say But my letter to you, will stay by your side Through 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, father to, father to son
Joyful the sound, the word goes around From father to son, to son...
Kings will be crowned, the word goes around From father to son, to son...
