My Father's Son - The Idle Race

I’m awake before dawn every morning

In time to see the rising of the sun

Though I know my 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

A prisoner of convention

Has made me what I am

Live my life conforming, to another’s plan

I am my fathers son

I am my fathers son

I feel it every day

I am my fathers son

Even though he’s far away

I am my fathers son
