Our Father...Our Father...




Overall Meaning

Mike Oldfield's song Our Father appears to be a deeply personal and introspective piece that is addressed to a higher power. The lyrics consist of the simple repetition of "Our Father" and could be interpreted as a prayer or a meditation. However, the meaning behind these words goes beyond their surface-level interpretation.


The lines "Our Father" are often used in Christian prayers, serving as an invocation to God as the creator and protector of all things. However, Oldfield's use of this phrase may have a broader interpretation as well. The repetition of these words could also represent a plea to a higher power for guidance and understanding, while simultaneously acknowledging the interconnectedness of all beings. This interpretation is supported by the lines "Who art in heaven", which further emphasizes the connection between the divine and earthly realms.
