Father, Father Songtext
von Kool & the Gang

Father, where′s the love I thought there would be?
Where's the happiness in me?
Is life just an endless walk to nowhere?
With streets that just lead to dead ends?
Where parents water their flowers with hate
Children do the same

But who′s to blame? Spring?
No, it's just a gentle thing
But man flies around the moon
And sings a song that starts with June
And eats his lunch at every noon
In harmony, he does this
But with love, is out of tune

Father, father, father
You were surely right
If the world should end tomorrow
It would be by man's own might


Lord have mercy on us
Seems to be our favorite line
Whenever we′re down or in trouble
All blocks to eternal divine

Father, there′s war and worry
Lord, there's hurt and sorrow
And won′t you live to see tomorrow?

Father, father, father
What can we do, what's right?
Lord, please smile upon us
Give us your guiding light

What can we do, what′s right?
Lord, smile down upon us
Give us your guiding light

Father, where's the love I thought there would be?
Where is the happiness in me?

God, lord, lord, you know
I know you know
Father
