Father oh father
Hear me if you can
Is it true what they say
That life is a dream
I don't understand
The things that make rain in my eyes
Are they real or are they lies
You know I hear so much about you now
I'd give anything
To go on a little boat with you
Talk about the scheme of things
On a little boat with you
Father oh father
Guide me if you can
Or give me the chance to follow you home
I am your son but I wish I knew you
When you were young
Were you lonely as a boy
You know I'd give so much to see you now
I'd go anywhere
Pick a little stick and walk with you
Talk about the scheme of things
On a short walk with you
Father oh father
You give me just a little hope
I feel something out there reaching for me
Well here I am
Won't you take me with you
Out of this maze
And away from this place
Because it gets so cold and lonely here
I'll do anything
To sit on a little rock with you
Talk about the scheme of things
On a small rock with you
Show me show me show me the way
Before they grind me down
And bleach me grey
Send me power not to be afraid
And when I close my eyes
Let me see you once in the light
Father oh father
Heal me if you can
Is it true what they say
That life is a dream
The lyrics FATHER of CAT STEVENS is also present in the album Back to earth (1978)
Cat Stevens, pseudonimo di Steven Demetre Georgiou, è un cantautore britannico nato a Londra il 21 luglio 1948. Attivo dal fine degli anni '60 fino al 1978, ha poi abbracciato l'Islam e cambiato nome in Yusuf Islam, continuando la sua carriera musicale con un approccio più spirituale. Stevens è noto per le sue melodie folk-rock malinconiche e introspettive, spesso accompagnate da testi poetici che esplorano temi di amore, perdita, fede e spiritualità. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Wild World", "Father and Son" e "Peace Train". L'album "Tea for the Tillerman" (1970) è considerato un classico del folk-rock britannico. Dopo il suo periodo di conversione, Yusuf Islam ha continuato a pubblicare musica con testi più religiosi, ma ha sempre mantenuto una sensibilità musicale raffinata e poetica.
