Charles & Eddie - Father To Son lyrics

Charles & Eddie

Father to son

A single mother

Struggles hard

Her child's neglected

In her own backyard

An absent father

The T.V.'s on

A little reminder

That hope is gone

At christmas time

There will be no tree

Just empty eyes

And a church meal free

Boy to father

Father to son

In the same apartment

Life goes on

A generation

Passes by

And no one seems to understand the

Reason why

A new election

And no one votes

'Cause bullets fly

On the way to the polls

Sister's wearing a long sleeve shirt

You can bet she's got a story to tell

A bed in the kitchen

A lock on the fridge

You know it's a living hell

At christmas time

There will be no tere

Just empty eyes

And a church meal free

How many people have to die before

We open up our eyes and see what's going on

When are we gonna break the chains and bring equality

To people who don't have it all
