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
