Were Sons Of Our Fathers

Phil Collins

[Intro] | | | 2x [Verse] 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 [Instrumental] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2x [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Instrumental] | | | | | 2x [Verse] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] | | | | | They’re beyond our control Oh beyond our control [Ending] | | | | | 4x

La chanson évoque le désir de faire honneur à ses parents et de comprendre les changements qui affectent les générations actuelles. L'artiste se remémore son enfance, soulignant une nostalgie pour des temps où le respect et les valeurs semblaient plus présents. Il questionne l’évolution des comportements des jeunes d’aujourd’hui, qui semblent échappés à notre influence et perdent peu à peu leur innocence. Malgré ces préoccupations, il reste un fervent croyant en la possibilité d’un meilleur avenir. Ce message trouve un écho dans notre société moderne, où les valeurs traditionnelles semblent parfois s’effacer, laissant place à des incertitudes sur ce que l'avenir réserve à la jeunesse.
