The Idle Race - My Father's Son lyrics

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
