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
