Father, Father - 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

And 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 stars with June

And eats his lunch at every moon

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 a favorite line

Wherever we’re down or in trouble

Or 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, please smile upon us

Give us your guiding light

Father, where’s the love I thought there would be?

Where’s the happiness in me?

Lord, you know, I know you know, father
