About Father Songtext
von Freddie Aguilar

I can still remember him well
He taught me of life and taught it so well
He spoke of beggars and kings
But said the best of all things
Be wise, for wisdom sets a man free

Lessons fled away with the tide
His wishes died in a soul of a child
Who only wanted to sing
So like the bird on the wing
Up through the winds to set myself free


Seasoned now by trials of time
Softer to touch a mellow like wine
It′s somehow feeling alone
Took the journey on home
To see my merlin dad once more

I heard no words, heard me no tales
I saw no life, so ashen, so pale
I saw my eyes growin' dim
For it was only in him
That I saw hope at destiny′s star

I can still remember him well
He taught me of life and taught it so well
He spoke of beggars and kings
But said the best of all things
Be wise, for wisdom sets a man free

Be wise, for wisdom sets a man free
Be wise, for wisdom sets a man free
Be wise, for wisdom sets a man free
