Lyrics
The workin days wear on... and youth we had is gone
Our toil beneath the sun does not fill our eyes
What we supposed would be... is re-arranged significantly
We are not sure if we're if its bad or good or devine
Oh Father... did we missunderstand? Were our heads just so full of our plans that we ran right by...
Oh Father... Will our dreams ever come to pass?
Or should we finally leave them at last and be at peace... and just see what will be
Our children they must learn.. the truth at every turn.. there's much
that we must do.. and so much we can't!
We know that chances are, they will become much as we are
So it falls to us to become a fine display
Oh Father... Help them to understand. Don't let their heads be so full of their plans that they run by...
Oh Father... Help them to hold their first love fast
Until they finally come to you at last... with their hearts at peace.
What a day that will be.
Interlude
Oh Father...help us to understand. Don't let our hearts be so full of our plans that we run right by...
Oh Father... Help us to hold our first love fast
Until we finally com to you at last... with our hearts at peace.
Ah what a day that will be.
