Father

FIRST OF ALL WE ARE BOYS OUR STAGE IS THE PLAYGROUND
FIGHT TEASE LAUGH ON THE MERRY GO ROUND
THINK ABOUT CAREERS WHOÕS THE KING WITH THE CROWN
WE DO EVERYTHING TO PREVENT GOING DOWN
OUR NATURE BOYS MUST BE BOYS
IN A EARLY STAGE OF LIFE YOU GOT TO MAKE A CHOICE
WE GOT TO WORK WE GOT TO WORK HARD
PLAY FAIR ON DIFFERENT DAYS WITH THE SAME CARDS
IT AINÕT EASY IT AINÕT EASY BEING A MAN
TO FIND THE RIGHT WOMAN WHO CARES AND UNDERSTANDS
BUT IF YOU DO KEEP MY WORDS IN YOUR MIND
LOVE IS GODÕS GIFT UNIQUE AND GENUINE
DO ME A FAVOUR 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
Ê
I AM SORRY DIDNÔT MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY
MY DAD ALSO LEFT AND I STILL DONÔT KNOW WHY
I MISS MY DADDY HE WAS STRONG BOLD AND WISE
I WONDER IF IÔLL SEE HIM AND IF YES DEAD OR ALIVE
I WANNA 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 AT 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 HIS STORY
THE MOST MEN SMILE EVEN THOUGH THEY SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY
WE GOT TO KEEP ON WE GOT A GOOD REASON
IF ITÕS NOT FOR OURSELFS AT LEAST THE KIDS NEED THE FEEDING
I AM VERY PROUD TO BE THE MAN THAT I AM
THANK YOU MUM AND DAD IÕLL DO THE BEST THAT I CAN
Ê
CHORUS:
FATHER OH FATHER I KNOW IT HASNÕT BEEN EASY
TO BE THERE FOR ME
OH MY FATHER OH FATHER I KNOW IT HASNÕT BEEN EASY
BUT YOU WILL STAY IN MY MIND ALWAYS
Ê
BRIDGE:
YOU DID ALL YOU COULD IT WASNÕT ENOUGH
I DIDNÕT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WERE GONE
NOW I AM A FATHER OF MY OWN
AND I AM TRYING MY BEST
