Father, where's the love I thought there would be?
Where's the happiness in me?
Is life just an endless walk to nowhere?
With streets that just lead to dead ends?
Where parents water their flowers with hate
And children do the same
But who's to blame? Spring?
No, it's just a gentle thing
But man flies around the moon
And sings a song that starts with June
And eats his lunch at every noon
In harmony he does this
But with love, is out of tune
Father, father, father
You were surely right
If the world should end tomorrow
It would be by man's own might
"Lord have mercy on us"
Seems to be a favorite line
Whenever we're down or in trouble
All blocks to eternal divine
Father, there's war and worry
Lord, there's hurt and sorrow
And won't you live to see tomorrow
Father, father, father
What can we do what's right
Lord, please smile upon us
Give us your guiding light
What can we do what's right
Lord, please smile upon us
Give us your guiding light
Father, where's the love
I thought there would be?
Where's the happiness in me?
Lord, you know, I know you know, father
