Lyrics Barry McGuire

Barry McGuire

Lear Jets / Father's Son

You got your lear jets and your limousines

And still you're wondering why

You can't lose that lonely feeling

No matter what you try

Yes, your three day parties twice a week

With all the old friends you know

Champagne breakfasts, country clubs

With scotch to bring you home

Oh, and after all the laughter

And the music fades away

You find yourself a lonely child

Lost along the way

Well, you turned your back so long ago

On Jesus and His Dad

And cast your pearls before the swine

You gave them all you had

Yes, and now you're hooked on selfishness

With nothing left to give

Like pigs thinking only of themselves, now

That's the way you live

Yes, and after all the laughter

And the music fades away

You find yourself a lonely child

Lost along the way

Oh, and after all the laughter

And the music fades away

You find yourself a lonely child

Lost along the way

Well, ain't you tired of all the darkness

Tired of all the pain

Come on into the sunshine, brother

Step right out of the rain

Ain't you tired of living in darkness

Playing all the games

Come on into the sunshine, brother

Step right out of the rain

I said that you can live in the sunshine, brother

Step right out of the rain

Well, won't you stop and listen?

I've got a word to say

I'd like to lay a bit of news on you

Before you slip away

(Slip away, slip away)

It's all about an old friend of mine

And how His Kingdom's come

Won't you open up your heart to Him

And welcome in the Father's Son?

Yeah, can you tell where you're going?

Do you know where you've been?

Can you hear someone knocking on your heart

But the fear won't let Him in?

Well, are you gonna keep on running

Just like you've always done?

Won't you open up your heart, my friend

And welcome in the Father's Son?

Have you heard about His Spirit?

They call Him the Holy Ghost

Yes, He came here two thousand years ago

The helper of the heavenly host

Just to give to us the victory

You know the battle has been won

Won't you open up your heart, my friend

And welcome in the Father's Son?

I have one more thing I want to tell you

Just one more thing to do

Ah, we're gonna knock out the powers of darkness

And you can do it too

Said, you don't have to wait no longer

Yes, our great day has come

Won't you open up your heart, my friend

Open up and let Him in?

Open up your heart to Him

And welcome in the Father's Son, that's right

And welcome in the Father's Son

And welcome in the Father's Son

I said, welcome in the Father's Son

Yes, welcome in the Father's Son...
