Xavier Rudd: "The Son Of A Father" Lyrics

All caged up and shunned

Intense feelings of lust

His religion was served

With no choice or dessert

And on the cricket board engraved

With pride the family name

Cute boys all around

Who made his father proud

He needed to share

Again confused he was blessed

He was such a gentle guy

He had to hide away his type

A father old in every way

No son of his could be born gay

Would it spill too much shame

And disgrace the family name

You must hold it all inside

The image must survive

And while I have the chance

I didn't mean what I said
