I am growing tall Like a long shadow Like my father I am growing bold May I find peace In the long shadow Of my father They'd bring me home And east of the river After years have past I will think of you A new wind blows Shadows on your face And by the side of my woman I am filled with grace May she find peace In the long shadow Like my father I will give her home And east of the river Where the years have past She will know of you One day a distant voice Will call to beckon you home Home to your father And when that day comes May our swift release Come to find your soul And in the shadow They'd guide you home May you find peace In the long shadow Of your fathers They'd bring you home I am growing tall Like a long shadow Like my father I am going home
