Dame Kiri Te Kanawa & Sally Burgess & Jerry Hadley & Willard White & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir & Choristers of Liverpool Cathedral - Father - text písně

1959
As mourners arrive for the funeral, Shanty thinks on his confusion, fears and upset at the death of his father. He reflects and worries about the relationship they had, distressed at his father's mortality. Finally he realises fathers are only human and asks his forgiveness.

Chorus (mourners):
Father, father
father, father.

Chief mourner and women's chorus (mourners):
O father, you have given time to your children
you (we beg of you)
will look after (look after us)
those in (father) your care (father)
father
(into the future, in ever-growing circles)

Chief mourner:
You will be there
and your spirit will keep us moving
in the right direction.

Full chorus (mourners):
O father, you have given time to your children
you will look after those in your care
into the future, in ever-growing circles
you will be there.

Chief mourner:
And your spirit will keep us moving
in the right direction.

Shanty:
Hey, wait a minute, you didn't tell me
I fell into a place I didn't wanna go
it doesn't matter
I swear I'll never go through another of those things in my life
you should have warned me of all the danger
but maybe there were some things
you just didn't know
but you're my father
and surely fathers ought to know about most
things in this life
don't tell me, I thought you were the best
you were only human and a lot like all the rest
like me you were fragile, not secure
with the fast tide of life
that would speed past your door.

Chorus (mourners):
Father father father.

Boys and chorus:
Toti mundo nati.

Shanty and chorus:
(father, ah)
I forgive you, will you forgive me?

Chief mourner and chorus:
You will be there
and your spirit will keep us moving
in the right direction.
