Collins, Phil - We're Sons Of Our Fathers Lyrics
'It seems that family values have changed since I was a kid, at least I remember it that way...'
When I grow up to be a man
like my father was when I was young
I hope i can make him so proud of me
What makes these people so different now
what makes these times so strange?
seems most people got most everything they need
how come we see this change
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
this world seemed a nicer place to be
but time slowly passes and one day you look around
you hardly recognise what you see
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
now when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
They're beyond our control
We're all sons of our fathers
sometimes I feel like mine
and I can hear him say, the things I say
seems all things come around in time
Why these things happen we'll never know
guess that was then and this is now
we always knew that change was gonna come
but I want to go back, please tell me how
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

ok boomer
Lindo som!! Grande Phil collins ❤❤
VERY BRILLIANT
1:46 Totally not a Bob Dylan reference!
Phill Collins is the only musician that can easily pull off an interesting song over 6 minutes. Others lose it after 4 minutes.
Such a soulful song.
I wonder if this was collin's legitimate opinion of the new generation at the time, or if he's sort of making fun of older people who always bash younger people saying "back in my day blah blah blah"
I also am curious on the line
"Seems people got most everything they need"
sounds a bit like he's trying to sound like a particular group of people?
Love this track , love Phil, Forever.
I think Phil is saying that people are always tempted to blame the young, himself included, as a way to avoid facing their own problems. The song is nicely open to interpretation, though.
All time classical song. Phil Collins, simply the best!
Linda música

'It seems that family values have changed since I was a kid, at least I remember it that way'
When I grow up to be a man
Like my father was when I was young
I hope I can make him so proud of me
Proud enough to call me his son
What makes these people so different now
What makes these times so strange?
Seems most people got most everything they need
How come we see this change
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
This world seemed a nicer place to be
But time slowly passes and one day you look around
You hardly recognize what you see
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
Now when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
They're beyond our control
We're all sons of our fathers
Sometimes I feel like mine
And I can hear him say, the things I say
Seems all things come around in time
Why these things happen we'll never know
Guess that was then and this is now
We always knew that change was gonna come
But I want to go back, please tell me how
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

Wonderful song...
What an amazing song and Phil Collins is a genius!
When I grow up to be a man
Like my father was when I was young
I hope I can make him so proud of me
Proud enough to call me his son
What makes these people so different now
What makes these times so strange?
Seems most people got most everything they need
How come we see this change
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
This world seemed a nicer place to be
But time slowly passes and one day you look around
You hardly recognize what you see
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
Now when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
They're beyond our control
We're all sons of our fathers
Sometimes I feel like mine
And I can hear him say, the things I say
Seems all things come around in time
Why these things happen we'll never know
Guess that was then and this is now
We always knew that change was gonna come
But I want to go back, please tell me how
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

very good song
"We're all sons of our fathers. Sometimes I feel like mine. And I can hear them saying the things I say, seems all things come around in time". I love those words. At my age I can relate to that.

Don't worry, Phil understand that! Peace <3
This changes people hearts dis spite what happens. I may be a younging or I'm old school to the younger generations yet to come to run this world in our place as we grow old. Please vote for change for the better good.
I have heard this song for the first time. Phil Collins is a favorite singer. Thank you Spdernukz
Just listening to some of my old music this weekend and heard this one again...wow! I love the sound and the words and the voice. I miss hearing new stuff from this amazing musician and songwriter. He is probably my all-time favorite. "I wanna go back...please tell me how"
buenísima, la escucho casi todos los días
You're One Of The Greatest Phil. I LOVE YOU
you can hear him sying 'fabuolus' at the end of the song.
Great song from a great singer/song writer and a brilliant musician
You're welcome
