[ti: God of My Fathers]
[length: 03:59]
[00:11.87]God of my father’s
[00:13.96]Huddled in the harbor
[00:17.55]Every man an ocean from his home
[00:22.63]Their captors could not keep them
[00:25.55]When they heard the drums of freedom
[00:29.14]The dream of a kingdom
[00:31.20]In a land they’ve never known
[00:34.76]God of my father’s
[00:37.47]Strangers in this country
[00:40.11]Pilgrims on these dusty roads
[00:45.78]Across the great plains
[00:48.45]In the bellies of the steel trains
[00:51.71]To stake a new claim
[00:53.83]In that wilderness of hope
[00:57.21]And like my father’s
[01:00.07]I am looking for a home
[01:03.09]I’m looking for a home
[01:04.89]Beyond the sea
[01:08.49]So be my God and guide me
[01:11.22]Till I lie beneath these hills
[01:14.63]And let the great God of my father’s
[01:18.08]Be the great God of my children still
[01:32.45]God of my grandfathers
[01:35.94]Gone these many years now
[01:38.80]Well, I guess they’re shining like the sun
[01:44.59]And I envision them
[01:47.12]Grinning at the finish
[01:49.78]And they smile, and they smile
[01:52.45]’Cause they love to see me run, whoa
[01:56.12]And like my father’s
[01:58.31]I am looking for a home
[02:01.32]I’m looking for a home
[02:03.29]Beyond the sea
[02:06.97]So be my God and guide me
[02:09.55]Till I lie beneath these hills
[02:13.74]And let the great God of my father’s
[02:16.81]Be the great God of my children still, yeah, oh
[02:33.46]So, now we’re counting stars
[02:37.80]And counting sand
[02:39.78]Little feet and little hands
[02:42.56]We’re counting joys
[02:47.48]We pray, You’ll know them
[02:50.14]As You knew us when You wove us
[02:53.48]As You hold us hold them
[02:56.52]Please hold them
[02:59.15]Like their father
[03:00.96]They are looking for a home
[03:04.31]Looking for a home
[03:06.25]Beyond the sea
[03:10.15]So be their God and guide them
[03:12.63]Till they lie beneath these hills
[03:16.68]And let the great God of their father
[03:19.94]Be the great God of their children
[03:22.89]Let the great God of my father’s
[03:25.52]Be the great God of my children still
[03:35.64]Oh, whoa
