I’m Not The Father

[Verse 1]
If you saw me healing a blind man
If I was walking on water, would you think it's an illusion?
And tell me, if I, if I told you I was sent here
Would you call me a madman and clap me in irons?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, if I, if I said I was a lonely man
Would you believe me?

[Chorus]
I'm not the father, I'm not the ghost
I'm the truth and the critical mass you fear the most
I'm not the father, I'm not a saint
I'm the conscious man in the thoughtless modern age
Please don't turn your back on me
I'm not the father, I'm not the father
I'm not the father, I'm not the father

[Verse 2]
If you saw me flying with the eagles
If I was shaking with madness, turning over tables
Oh, tell me, could you, could you ever conceive it?
Do you really believe it? Or do you just read it?

[Pre-Chorus]
I tell you somewhere, there's a prophet in a padded cell
You'll never know him

[Chorus]
I'm not the father, I'm not the ghost
I'm the truth and the critical mass you fear the most
I'm not the father, I'm not a saint
I'm the conscious man in the thoughtless modern age
Please don't turn your back on me
I'm not the father, I'm not the father
I'm not the father, I'm not the father

[Bridge]
Can you hear me in the darkness?
I wanna tell you tonight, I wanna tell you tonight
Can you hear me in the darkness?
I wanna tell you tonight, I wanna tell you now

[Pre-Chorus]
If I, if I said I was a lonely man
Would you believe me?

[Chorus]
I'm not the father, I'm not the ghost
I'm the truth and the critical mass you fear the most
I'm not the father, I'm not a saint
I'm the conscious man in the thoughtless modern age
Please don't turn your back on me
I'm not the father, I'm not the father
I'm not the father, I'm not the father

[Outro]
I'm not the father, I'm not the father
I'm not the father, I'm not the father
I'm not the father, I'm not the father
I'm not the father, I'm not the father
