Lyrics

[00:17.39] A word in your ear,
[00:19.98] from father to son
[00:22.93] Hear the word that I say
[00:27.86] I fought with you,
[00:32.87] fought on your side
[00:36.37] Long before you were born
[00:41.08]
[00:42.75] Joyful the sound,
[00:44.86] the word goes around
[00:48.20] From father to son,
[00:51.15] to son.
[00:53.18]
[00:55.32] And the voice is so clear,
[00:57.86] time after time it keeps on
[01:01.69] Calling you, calling you on
[01:04.56]
[01:08.02] Don't destroy what you see,
[01:10.26] your country to be
[01:13.26] Just keep building on the ground that's been won
[01:18.77]
[01:20.35] Kings will be crowned,
[01:22.76] and the word goes around
[01:25.83] From father to son,
[01:28.83] to son
[01:30.76]
[01:43.54] Won't you hear us sing
[01:44.86] (te de de de de de de de de de de de de de de)
[01:48.93] Our family song
[01:51.36] (te de de de de de de de de de de de de de de)
[01:55.46]
[02:14.12] Take this letter that I give you
[02:18.59] Take it sonny, hold it high
[02:23.80] You won't understand a word that's in it
[02:29.95] But you'll write it out again before you die (yeah yeah)
[02:36.82]
[04:01.26] A word in your ear from father to son
[04:07.71] Funny you don't hear a single word I say
[04:14.00] But my letter to you will stay by your side
[04:22.17] Through the years till the loneliness is gone
[04:27.63] Sing if you will -
[04:33.55] but the air you breathe I live to give you
[04:42.76] Father to son, father to, father to, father to son
[04:52.54] Joyful the sound,
[04:55.66] the word goes around
[04:58.76] From father to son, to son.
[05:03.72] Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
[05:11.52] From father to son, to son
[05:16.58] Joyful the sound, the word goes around
[05:24.18] From father to son, to son.
[05:29.61] Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
[05:37.18] From father to son, to son
[05:42.57] Joyful the sound, the word goes around
[05:50.40] From father to son, to son.
[05:56.96] Kings will be crowned, the word goes around
[06:03.44] From father to son, to son
[06:08.12]
