I'm awake before dawn every morning 

In time to see the rising of the sun 

Though I know my sorrows 

I'm not what I seem



'Cause I am my fathers son 

I am my fathers son



I'm not a happy fellow 

But my friends all think I am 

Trying to fit the shoes, of some other man



'Cause I am my fathers son 

I am my fathers son



A prisoner of convention 

Has made me what I am 

Live my life conforming, to another's plan



I am my fathers son 

I am my fathers son 

I feel it every day 

I am my fathers son 

Even though he's far away 

I am my fathers son
