Lyrics
My Father's Son
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm awake before dawn every morning
In time to see the rising of the sun
Though I know my sorrows
I'm not what I seem
'Cause I am my fathers son
I am my fathers son
I'm not a happy fellow
But my friends all think I am
Trying to fit the shoes, of some other man
'Cause I am my fathers son
I am my fathers son
A prisoner of convention
Has made me what I am
Live my life conforming, to another's plan
I am my fathers son
I am my fathers son
I feel it every day
I am my fathers son
Even though he's far away
I am my fathers son
