Father, Son - Peter Gabriel

Father, son

Locked as one

In this empty room

Spine against spine

Yours against mine

Till the warmth comes through

Remember the breakwaters down by the waves

I first found my courage

Knowing daddy could save

I could hold back the tide

With my dad by my side

Dogs, plows and bows

We move through each pose

Struggling in our seperate ways

Mantras and hymns

Unfolding limbs

Looking for release through the pain

And the yogi’s eyes are open

Looking up above

He too is dreaming of his daddy’s love

With his dad by his side

Got his dad by his side

Can you recall

How you took me to school

We couldn’t talk much at all

It’s been so many years

And now these tears

Guess I’m still your child

Out on the moors

We take a pause

See how far we have come

You’re moving quite slow

How far can we go

Father and son

With my dad by my side

With my dad by my side

Got my dad by my side

With me
