lyrics

We Are Four Generations

Father John was a carpenter
An husband and a soldier
He was so serious
But not so pious
His eyes were blue
his gaze was sharp and true

Granny she was a good girl
See Met John at the bakery
She looks like a pearl
Among all the pastries
seven children
was her feat of arms

No Pity, no emptiness
They were happy, no distress
Life in the fifties sweet caress
Baby come dancing in your new dress

Papa John was so handsome
Gave you smile if you want some
He was not so serious
his wife was furious
Like a goddess she was
So High in the sky



In my eyes, the narrow sea
The blue bridge I love tenderly
The mountains green, the place I’ve been
Such a long time ago

Built a home
for my own two sons
Carried stone after stone
I planted trees took care of bees
And start a new life

I made sacrifices
But I’m proud of what I did
I sometimes missed a thing
But I’m happy when I see you kids


Hold my hand
I’m a Vagabond
In the band
Playing your James Bond
And I’m surprised
And mesmerized
I’ll go blind
If I look at your kind

We went far
But We found no star
We came back
On the track
We were two
And now were four
Leave the blue
And open the door


Baby I dont know if the world is safe enough
But believe me when I say life is sometimes soft
When I look at you in the morning
When I told you a story or when we sing

Baby I’dont know if your future will be bright
But believe me you’ll always have me at your side
When I thing of you I’m hopeful
You make the world shine with your soul

It’s all about the fourth generation
