I woke up cryin' late at night when I was very young | |
I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone | |
My world revolved around him, I couldn't lie there anymore | |
So I made my way down the mirrored hall and tapped upon his door | |
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid | |
How will I go on, with you gone that way? | |
Don't wanna cry anymore | |
So may I stay with you?" | |
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do | |
Everything I do is because of you | |
To keep you safe with me | |
That's my job, you see" | |
Later we barely got along, this teenage boy and he | |
Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams | |
We each held for me | |
He wanted knowledge and learning, I wanted to fly out west | |
Said, ‽I could make it out there if I just had the fare | |
I got half, will you loan me the rest?" | |
And I said, "Daddy, I'm so afraid | |
Theres no guarantee in the plans I've made | |
And if I should fail, who will pay my way back home?" | |
And he said, "That's my job, that's what I do | |
Everything I do is because of you | |
To keep you safe with me | |
That's my job, you see" | |
Every person carves his spot and fills the hole with life | |
And I pray someday I might light as bright as he | |
Woke up early one bright fall day, just read the tragic news | |
After all my travels, I settled down within a mile or two | |
I make my livin' with words and rhymes and all this tragedies | |
Should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry | |
But I say, "Daddy, I'm so afraid" | |
How will I go on with you gone this way | |
How can I come up with a song to say, I love you" | |
That's my job, that's what I do | |
Everything I do is because of you | |
To keep you safe with me | |
That's my job, you see | |
Everything I do is because of you | |
To keep you safe with me |
