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 And the word goes around From father to son To son
Won't you hear us sing Our family song? Oh, yeah Now we hand it on (oh)
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 Yeah, yeah, yeah
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 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
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
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
