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 Word goes around Father to son to son
Joyful the sound Word goes around Father to son to son Kings will be crowned Word goes around Father to son to son ___
White Queen (As It Began):
So sad her eyes Smiling dark eyes So sad her eyes As it began
On such a breathless night as this Upon my brow the lightest kiss I walked alone And all around the air did say My lady soon will stir this way In sorrow known The white queen walks And the night grows pale Stars of lovingness in her hair
Needing - unheard pleading - one word So sad my eyes she cannot see
How did thee fare what have thee seen The mother of the willow green I call her name And 'neath her window have I stayed I loved the footsteps that she made And when she came White queen how my heart did ache And dry my lips no word would make So still I wait
My goddess hear my darkest fear I speak too late It's for evermore that I wait Dear friend goodbye No tears in my eyes So sad it ends as it began
