[Verse 1] Happy Father’s Day Here’s a funny thing to say But I’ve been staring at the family tree And how we got this way Somewhere back in history Beneath a moon or summer sun A father passed a little life And another branch begun [Chorus] Happy Father’s Day To the fathers all the way You spread the seed You grew the tree And here we are today One became two Then a whole family In a long parade Happy Father’s Day The bloodline never strayed [Verse 2] Some drove tractors through the fields Some sailed oceans far from shore Some worked double shifts all week Then came home and worked some more Some wore boots and some wore ties Some chased dreams and some chased pay Most of them had no idea They’d help create this day [Chorus] Happy Father’s Day To the fathers all the way You spread the seed You grew the tree And here we are today One became two Then a whole family In a long parade Happy Father’s Day The bloodline never strayed [Bridge] A maple drops a thousand seeds A dandelion rides the breeze A bird builds nests A bee finds flowers Life keeps moving through the years Generation after generation Season after season too Passing little pieces onward Till somehow it gets to you [Breakdown] Let’s be honest It’s a little insane Every person you’ve ever met Came through the very same lane Every teacher Every preacher Every poet Every chief Every one of us is hanging From a very ancient leaf [Final Chorus] Happy Father’s Day To the fathers far away The chain goes back through countless years Yet somehow made its way You spread the seed You grew the tree Through sunshine, drought, and rain Happy Father’s Day The bloodline rides again [Outro] From campfires to computers From wagons to jet streams From stories told by lantern light To children chasing dreams One became two Then a family tree As far as eyes can see Happy Father’s Day And thanks for spreading the seed
