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
