Father To Son lyrics


Charles & Eddie
Father to son

A single mother
Struggles hard
Her child s neglected
In her own backyard
An absent father
The T.V. s on
A little reminder
That hope is gone

At christmas time
There will be no tree
Just empty eyes
And a church meal free

Boy to father
Father to son
In the same apartment
Life goes on
A generation
Passes by
And no one seems to understand the
Reason why

A new election
And no one votes
Cause bullets fly
On the way to the polls
Sister s wearing a long sleeve shirt
You can bet she s got a story to tell
A bed in the kitchen
A lock on the fridge
You know it s a living hell

At christmas time
There will be no tere
Just empty eyes
And a church meal free

How many people have to die before
We open up our eyes and see what s going on
When are we gonna break the chains and bring equality
To people who don t have it all
