Oh I moved to the sound
|
Of my father's shadow
|
Always pulling on these chains
|
Trying to break free
|
Over the wall
|
Into the darkest night
|
Not knowing
|
What was just ahead for me
|
He used to say
|
You got to know the way
|
You got to do some schooling every day
|
|
Son, I'm so scared, scared of what I see
|
Oh you got to cool down or you'll end up like me
|
Chasing the soul
|
Of my father's shadow
|
|
Oh I hear what they're saying
|
What they whisper I know
|
A chip off the block
|
With a raging fire down below
|
And no guessing, no guessing
|
It's so easy to see
|
Always punching at them walls
|
Always trying to break free
|
|
But I hear mama say
|
Only trouble goona come my way
|
Moving to the sound
|
Of my father's shadow
|
|
Mama say God help my child
|
Mama say I feel he's running wild
|
She say why why why
|
Oh cry cry cry
|
So well I know
|
So well I know
|
That raging fire below
|
|
Chasing the soul, chasing the soul, chasing the soul
|
Of my father's shadow
|
Chasing the soul, chasing the soul, chasing the soul
|
Of my father's shadow
|
Oh of my father's shadow
|
