Movement Iv - Father Lyrics - Paul Mccartney

Father, father. 

Father, father. 

Chief mourner 

O father, you have given 

Time to your children. 

You will look after 

Those in your care.

We beg you 

Look after us. 

Father, father. 

Chief mourner 

Father.

Women's chorus 

Into the future, 

In ever-growing circles, 

Chief mourner 

You will be there, 

And your spirit will keep us moving 

In the right direction. 

Full chorus (mourners) 

(ah) 

O father, you have given 

Time to your children. 

You will look after 

Those in your care. 

Into the future, 

In ever-growing circles, 

You will be there. 

Chief mourner 

And your spirit will keep us moving 

In the right direction. 

Shanty 

Hey, wait a minute. 

You didn't tell me. 

I fell into a place 

I didn't wanna go. 

It doesn't matter. 

I swear 

I'll never go through another of those things 

In my life. 

You should have warned me of all the dangers. 

But maybe there were some things you just didn't know. 

But you're my father, 

And surely fathers ought to know about most things 

In this life. 

Don't tell me. 

I thought you were the best. 

You were only human 

And a lot like all the rest. 

Like me you were fragile. 

Not secure 

With the fast tide of life 

That would speed past your door. 

Chorus (mourners) 

Father, father, father. 

Boys and chorus 

Toti mundo nati. 

Chorus 

Father. 

(ah) 

Shanty 

I forgive you, 

Will you forgive me? 

Chief mourner 

You will be there. 

Chief mourner and chorus 

And your spirit will keep us moving 

In the right direction.
