Father
Why did you go, and leave me alone.
Chorus:
Father, oh father
I know it hasn't been easy
to be there for me.
Oh my father, oh father
I know it hasn't been easy
but you will stay in my mind always
Verse I:
First of all we are boys, our stage, the playground
fight, tease, laugh on the Merry Go Round
Think about careers, who's the King with the crown
We do everything to prevent going down.
Our nature, boys must be boys
in an early stage of life, you've got to make a choice.
We've got to work, we've got to work hard
Play fair, on different days, with the same cards.
It ain't easy, it ain't easy being a a man
to find the right woman, who cares and understands.
But if you do, keep my words in your mind
Love is God's gift, unique and genuine.
Do me a favor, think about your life
do the right thing at the right place and time.
Have patience, exactly what you need
I am blessed to be a father, ask your dad, yes indeed.
Father
Chorus
Verse II:
I am sorry, didn't mean to make you cry
My dad also left, and I still don't know why.
I miss my daddy, he was strong, bold and wise,
I wonder if I'll see him and if he's dead or alive.
I wonna thank and praise the Heavenly Father
Protection for my family, my sister and two brothers.
All we need is some food and shelter
Keep us going on in any kind of weather.
A lot of families split, drift apart
How many men have I seen sleeping in the dark?!
You never know, everybody has a story
Most men smile, even though they should have to worry.
We've got to keep on, we've got a good reason
If it's not for ourselves, at least the kids need a feeding.
I'm very proud to be the man that I am
Thank you mom and dad, I'll do the best I can.
You did all you could, it wasn't enough
I didn't understand why you were gone
Now I am a father of my own
And I am trying my best
I didn't understand your love
Why did you go, why did you leave us all alone
