We're Sons Of Our Fathers Lyrics - Both Sides - Phil Collins

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 

Photos 

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
