My Ancestors lyrics with English Translations
My ancestors, were kings of old
They ruled the world and all of its gold
But look at me - oh, look at me, just look at me
My ancestors would find the sun Before they bowed down, to anyone But you gonna look at me Whoah-o-oh-oh, oh, look at me, just look at me Yeah, whoah-o-oh-oh, look at me
I'm a stranger in this land Watch me stand tall Help me, help me be just a man, oh
Oh, my ancestors - they were mighty men And my son, he will be one of them And they'll just look at him Yeah, they'll look at him And they'll say, he's a man, he's a man My son's a man, oh!
My ancestors - they passed it on to me I've got to, got to work And pass it on to my son And he will be a man, oh yeah And pass it on to his son And he will be a man, oh yes he will
