Artist/Band: Cat Stevens
Lyrics for Song: Father
Lyrics for Album: Back To Earth [1978]



Father oh Father

hear me if you can

is it true what they say

that life is a dream

i don't understand

the things that make rain in my eyes

are they real or are they lies



you know i hear so much about you now

i'd give anything

to go on a little boat with you

talk about the scheme of things

on a little boat with you



Father oh Father

guide me if you can

or give me the chance to follow you home

i am your son but i wish i knew you

when you were young

were you lonely as a boy



you know i'd give so much to see you now

i'd go anywhere

pick a little stick and walk with you

talk about the scheme of things

on a short walk with you



Father oh Father

you give me just a little hope

i feel something out there reaching for me

well here i am

won't you take me with you

out of this maze

and away from this place



because it gets so cold and lonely here

i'll do anything

to sit on a little rock with you

talk about the scheme of things

on a small rock with you



show me show me show me the way

before they grind me down

and bleach me grey

send me power not to be afraid

and when i close my eyes

let me see you once in the light



Father oh Father

heal me if you can

is it true what they say

that life is a dream
