Lyrics

Chorus (mourners)
Father, father
Father, father
Chief mourner
O father, you have given
Time to your children
You will look after
Those in your care

Women's chorus (mourners)
We beg you
Look after us
Father, father

Chief mourner
Father

Women's chorus
Into the future
In ever-growing circles

Chief mourner
You will be there
And your spirit will keep us moving
In the right direction

Full chorus (mourners)
(Ah)
O father, you have given
Time to your children
You will look after
Those in your care
Into the future
In ever-growing circles
You will be there

Chief mourner
And your spirit will keep us moving
In the right direction

Shanty
Hey, wait a minute
You didn't tell me
I fell into a place
I didn't wanna go
It doesn't matter
I swear
I'll never go through another of those things
In my life

You should have warned me of all the dangers
But maybe there were some things you just didn't know
But you're my father
And surely fathers ought to know about most things
In this life
Don't tell me
I thought you were the best
You were only human
And a lot like all the rest

Like me you were fragile
Not secure
With the fast tide of life
That would speed past your door

Chorus (mourners)
Father, father, father

Boys and chorus
Toti mundo nati

Chorus
Father
(Ah)

Shanty
I forgive you
Will you forgive me?

Chief mourner
You will be there

Chief mourner and chorus
And your spirit will keep us moving
