Father

Father why did you go and leave me alone

Chorus

Father, father oh father

I know it hasn't been easy to be there for me

Oh my father, father oh father

I know it hasn't been easy

But you will stay in my mind always

Verse 1

First of all we boys our stage to 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 the early stage of life you gotta make a choice

We gotta work we gotta work hard

Play fair on different days with the same cards

It ain't easy it ain't 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 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'm blessed to be your father ask your dad yes indeed

Chorus

Verse 2

I'm 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 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 a story

The most men smile even though they should have to worry

We gotta keep on we got a good reason

If it's not for yourself 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 that I can

Bridge

You did all you could it wasn't enough

I didn't understand why you were gone

Now I'm a father of my own and I'm trying my best

I didn't understand oh no

Why did you go why did you leave us all alone

Chorus 2x
