Cat Stevens - Father
Father oh father
Hear me if you can
Is it true what they say
That life is a dream
I don't understand
The things that make rain in my eyes
Are they real or are they lies
-------------------------------------------
Amy Grant - Father
Father, blessed father,
It's morning again.
I give you, father, myself, father,
Continue your plan.

Yellowcard - Father
What's a dad for dad
Tell me why I'm here dad
Whisper in my ear that I'm growing up to be a better man dad
Everything is fine dad
Now that you are mine dad
Cause I know I'm growing up to be a better man
Father I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older I wanna be the same as you
---------------------------------------------
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Father, father, we don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way

Wyclef Jean- Daddy
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
I'm sure y'all heard about my dad
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
This one goes out for everybody that lost somebody
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy
Be strong
Da, da, da, daddy, daddy, daddy

and... last but not least
Pink Floyd - When The Tigers Broke Free
It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives.
And old King George
Sent Mother a note
When he heard that
father was gone.
It was, I recall,
In the form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp.
It was dark all around.
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free.
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
They were all left behind,
Most of them dead,
The rest of them dying.
And that's how the High Command
Took my
daddy from me.
