Father’s Child Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feels like I've been here before
All things don't seem the same no more
Although I know I'm my mother's child
I gotta break free into the wild

[Verse 2]
Some things just seem to take so long
I've been thinking 'bout what's gone wrong
I've been searching for miles and miles
Looking for someone to walk with me

[Chorus]
Walk with me (Walk, walk)
Walk with me (Walk, walk)
Walk with me (Walk, walk)
Walk with me (Walk, walk)

[Verse 3]
All this doubt's been troublin' me
There's so much more that I can be
It feels like I'm on borrowed time
You got yours, I gotta take what's mine

[Chorus]
Walk with me (Walk, walk)
Walk with me (Walk, walk)
Walk with me (Walk, walk)
Walk with me (Walk, walk)
(Walk, walk, walk)
(Walk, walk)
[Outro]
(Walk, walk)
(Walk, walk)
(Walk, walk) Walk with me, I know I wasn't supposed
(Walk, walk) Walk with me, show me the right direction
(Walk, walk, walk) Walk with me, although I've been searching all my life
(Walk, walk) For where I'm supposed be
(Walk, walk) I am my mother's child
(Walk, walk) Walk with me, show me pure affection
Walk with me, show me the right direction
I am my father's child, even though I walk
No more, no more
[?I am more than things you won't forgive]
Walk with me
[?]I am more than things you won't forgive
Walk with me
[?] Walk with me
So walk with me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
