My Father's God Lyrics

go back, go back young man
to the things that came before
the lives that were lived
the truth that was found
before you born

a thousand fathers on their death beds dyin'
put there hands on my head
and said, "my son, learn from the things i've learned"
and find the ancient thoughts my father's thought
the ancient things my fathers saw,
an ancient God, my fathers God

go back, go back young man
to the things that came before
mistakes that were made
regrets softly spoken
before they crossed over

a thousand fathers on their death beds dyin'
put there hands on my head
and said, "my son, learn from the things i've learned"
and find the ancient thoughts my father's thought
the ancient things my fathers saw,
an ancient God, my fathers God

oh, my father's God
