《Forefathers》歌词
[00:00:00] Forefathers - Dan Fogelberg
[00:00:01] Written by:Dan Fogelberg
[00:00:12] They came from scandinavia
[00:00:16] The land of midnight sun
[00:00:18] And crossed the north
[00:00:20] Atlantic when this century was young
[00:00:25] They'd heard that in America
[00:00:28] Every man was free
[00:00:31] To live the way he chose
[00:00:33] To live and be who he could be
[00:00:42] Some of them were farmers
[00:00:44] There and tilled the frozen soil
[00:00:48] But all they got was poverty for all their earnest toil
[00:00:54] They say one was a sailor
[00:00:57] Who sailed the wide world round
[00:01:00] Made home port got drunk one
[00:01:03] Night walked off the pier drowned
[00:01:18] My mother was of scottish blood
[00:01:21] It's there that she was born
[00:01:24] They brought her to America in 1924
[00:01:30] They left behind the highlands
[00:01:33] And the heather covered hills
[00:01:36] Came to find America
[00:01:39] With broad expectant dreams and iron wills
[00:01:49] My granddad worked the steel mills of central illinois
[00:01:55] His daughter was his jewel
[00:01:58] His son was just his boy
[00:02:01] For thirty years he worked
[00:02:03] The mills and stoked the cokefed fires
[00:02:07] And looked toward the day when he'd at
[00:02:10] Last turn 65 and could retire
[00:02:20] Sons become the fathers
[00:02:23] And their daughters will be wives
[00:02:26] As the torch is passed from hand to hand
[00:02:29] And we struggle through our lives
[00:02:32] Though the generations wander
[00:02:35] The lineage survives
[00:02:40] And all of us from dust to dust
[00:02:43] We all become fore fathers by and by
[00:03:06] Woman and the man were wed just after the war
[00:03:10] And they settled in this river town
[00:03:14] Three fine sons she bore
[00:03:18] One became a lawyer
[00:03:20] And one fine pictures drew
[00:03:23] One became this lonely soul
[00:03:27] Who sits here now and sings this song to you
[00:03:36] And the sons become the fathers
[00:03:39] And their daughters will be wives
[00:03:42] As the torch is passed from hand to hand
[00:03:45] And struggle through our lives
[00:03:48] Though the generations wander the lineage survives
[00:03:57] And all of us from dust to dust
[00:03:59] We all become fore fathers by and by
[00:04:08] By and by
[00:04:14] By and by
