Our Father's Sons by The Gaslight Anthem

Our Father's Sons Lyrics

[00:21.17] Help me sing
[00:24.90] All you weary strangers raise your voice
[00:30.29] In this chain gang chorus in our younger days
[00:33.71] My brothers, we were naive sailors
[00:37.69] Storms we'd all endure
[00:42.46] Oh the road, oh you who sing her praises of dust and bones
[00:50.45] The places that she takes us, the choice is ours
[00:55.89] We wanted much more than our fathers
[00:58.40] While our mothers said their prayers
[01:02.84] Now we're moving on up, to the east side
[01:08.61] We finally got a piece of the pie
[01:15.10]
[01:24.06] Baby doll
[01:27.30] All you women of the travelers, your empty arms
[01:32.08] Your patient hearts in waiting, bless your hearts
[01:37.59] And your never ending patience
[01:39.74] I could not go on without you
[01:44.81] We're all the same
[01:47.62] All blue and bright white collars, we're all the same
[01:52.50] Our troubles and our sorrows and underneath
[01:58.22] Blood and bone and mixture
[02:00.53] Though we dance to different songs
[02:04.70] And our songs, you sing along
[02:06.23] Woah woah oh oh
[02:13.65] Woah oh oh woah
[02:18.80] Woah oh oh woah
[02:25.22] And our songs, you sing along
[02:27.13] Woah woah oh oh
[02:34.15] Woah oh oh woah
[02:39.22] Woah oh oh woah
[02:46.36] Every man, every woman with a burden raise your hands
[02:54.90] Raise'em up to the firmament, see those hands
[03:00.69] Meet your brothers and your sisters, use your hands
[03:06.16] We are our father's sons
[03:08.69]
