family man - jerome olds lyrics

Loading...

early morning sunlight
found my father in the field
i’d be following close behind
it was in my younger years
walking through new broken ground
we’d work till the late afternoon
cool water from dayspring
you know the night was coming soon
with eyes of a common man
he’d say, “son, i hope you understand…

that i’m a family man
i’ve been working the father’s land
careful to build on the rock
instead of sinking sand
i’m just a family man
doing the best i can
remembering that the father is
yes, he is a family man”

each night when i’d go to bed
i’d hear my father in the next room
praying the sun would break the clouds
and water would be here soon
next day, we’d be back in the fields
turning over fallow ground
we’d see lightning and thunder
oh, what a sight, oh, what a sound
this is no longer common land
he’d say, “son, i know you understand…
that i’m a family man
i’ve been working the father’s land
careful to build on the rock
instead of sinking sand
i’m just a family man
doing the best i can
remembering that the father is
yes, he is a family man”

the fields that we labored in
were not mad of rock or sand
but the harvest of the heart
chosen by the son of man

i’m a family man
i’ve been working the father’s land
careful to build on the rock
instead of sinking sand
i’m just a family man
doing the best i can
remembering that the father is
yes, he is a family man

sharing the father’s sweet love

tell the family
harvest time has come
(oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
tell the family
got to love them one by one
(tell them about the family)
tell the family
(where there’s hope, peace)
harvest time has come
(and understanding)
tell the family
got to love them one by one
(have you told the family…)
