I lived my life such a long time ago
Working the land with the plow and the hoe
I planted a season
But now I must flee
Leaving the harvest for others to reap
Someone who's part of me
Who will that someone be
For the hearts of the fathers are turning
Turning to children they've never seen
And the hearts of the children are burning
With the promise of what will be
I live in the present
Yet feel for the past
Seeking connections and roots that are outlast
The change of the seasons
The distance of time
Stories and people who I can call mine
Someone who's part of me
Who will that someone be
For the hearts of the children are turning
Turning to fathers they've never seen
And the hearts of the fathers are burning
With the promise of what will be
How I hoped for this sound
How I prayed for this day
You have given me more than your name and your face
In the house of the Lord
Heaven's doors open wide
I will stand in your place
I will stand by your side
For the hearts of the fathers are turning
Turning to children they've never seen
And the hearts of the children are burning
With the promise of what will be
Every covenant spoken
'Til the chain is unbroken
The circle will be compete
