Four Sons

[Verse 1] There once was a man with a lot on his hands Four sons wishing their lives away There at the land where the sea meets the sand Four sons they gathered one day [Chorus] One was a teacher (ooh-yeah) Catching dreams on a mountain high One was the fool (ooh) Dancing in the moonlight sky One was a preacher (preach!) Searching for himself in the crowd And one was a sailor (sail away) Lost in the waves so loud [Verse 2] They each walked their path Hearts full of doubt The weight of the world on their minds But deep inside A fire that would sprout Calling them to the life they'd find [Chorus] One was a teacher Guiding stars with his gentle words One was the fool Spinning tales as his laughter stirred One was a preacher Telling truths that were hard to swallow And one was a sailor Following seas where the gulls would follow [Bridge] Together they stood by the edge of the shore Each holding the dreams that they dearly adore The father watched on with a tear in his eye Knowing they'd soar, through the low and the high [Verse 3] Time moves on, the years they fly Seasons change under the open sky The man watches as his sons grow bold Each story unfolds like the tales of old [Chorus] One was a teacher With a voice that could calm the storm One was the fool Keeping the night forever warm One was a preacher With a heart as big as the sun And one was a sailor His journey’s just begun [Outro] There at the land where the sea kisses sand Four sons with their fates in hand The man with a lot, now understands Love and life are the truest commands The man with a lot, now understands Love and life are the truest commands
