Phil Collins - We're Sons Of Our Fathers Lyrics
it seems that family values have changed since I was a kid, at least I remember it that way...When I grow up to be a manLike my father was when I was youngI hope I can make him so proud of meProud enough to call me his sonWhat makes these people so different nowWhat makes these times so strange?Seems most people got most everything they needHow come we see this changeOur sons and daughters seem to be beyond our controlTheir smile is fading fast, theyre losing their soulWhen will we ever learn, yet Im a believerWhen I was a boy, did we have more respect?This world seemed a nicer place to beBut time slowly passes and one day you look aroundYou hardly recognise what you seeOur sons and daughters seem to be beyond our controlTheir smile is fading fast, theyre losing their soulNow when will we ever learn, yet Im a believerTheyre beyond our controlWere all sons of our fathersSometimes I feel like mineAnd I can hear him say, the things I saySeems all things come around in timeWhy these things happen well never knowGuess that was then and this is nowWe always knew that change was gonna comeBut I want to go back, please tell me howOur sons and daughters seem to be beyond our controlTheir smile is fading fast, theyre losing their soulWhen will we ever learn, yet Im a believer
