This is what my history teacher said This is what my history teacher said He said: kingdoms fall and kingdoms rise In the end there is no surprise There has never been a war That hasn't been fought before So if you find my teacher in this town If you find my teacher in this town Tell him that his work is done I don't need him from now on I won't find a way And one day I will have a daughter Who'll say I was better Better as a father Better than before One day I'll come back again to you One day I'll come back again to you I'm a story as old as Bethlehem I'm dusted off, I'm told again Gone from land to land Passed from hand to hand And one day I will have a daughter Who'll say I was better Better as a father Better than before And one day I will have a daughter Who'll say I was better Better as a father Better than before
