I'm awake before dawn every morning
In time to see the rising of the sun
Though I'm known by sorrows
I'm not what I seem

'Cause I am my fathers son
I am my fathers son

I'm not, a happy fellow
But my friends all think, I am
Trying to fit the shoes
Of some other man

'Cause I am my fathers son
I am my fathers son

I am my fathers son
I am my fathers son

A prisoner of convention
Has made me what, I am
Live my life confirming
To another's plan

I am my fathers son
I am my fathers son
Feel it every day
I am my fathers son
Even though he's far away
I am my fathers son
