Were Sons Of Our Fathers Lyrics by Phil Collins

Were Sons Of Our Fathers Lyrics

    'It seems that family values have changed since I was a kid, at least I remember it that way...'

    When I grow up to be a man
    like my father was when I was young
    I hope i can make him so proud of me
    Proud enough to call me his son

    What makes these people so different now
    what makes these times so strange?
    seems most people got most everything they need
    how come we see this change

    Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
    their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
    when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

    When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
    this world seemed a nicer place to be
    but time slowly passes and one day you look around
    you hardly recognise what you see

    Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
    their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
    now when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

    They're beyond our control

    We're all sons of our fathers
    sometimes I feel like mine
    and I can hear him say, the things I say
    seems all things come around in time

    Why these things happen we'll never know
    guess that was then and this is now
    we always knew that change was gonna come
    but I want to go back, please tell me how

    Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
    their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
    when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
