Father why did you go? And leave me alone?
Father, oh father I know it hasn't been easy
To be there for me.
Father, oh father I know it hasn't been easy
But you will stay in my mind always!
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 got to make a choice.
We got to work, we got to work hard,
Play fair on different days with the same cards.
It ain't easy, it ain't easy to be a man,
To find the right woman who cares and understands,
But if you do keep my words in your mind
Love is gods gift unique and genuine!
Do me a favour, think about life,
Do the right thing at the right place of time.
Have patience exactly what you need,
I am blessed to be a father ask your dad yes indeed.
Father, oh father I know it hasn't been easy
To be there for me.
Father, oh father I know it hasn't been easy
But you will stay in my mind always!
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 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,
To 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 it's not for ourselves at least the kids need the feeding.
I am very proud to be the man that I am.
Thank you mum and dad I'll do the best that 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!
Father, oh father I know it hasn't been easy
To be there for me.
Father, oh father I know it hasn't been easy
But you will stay in my mind always!
Father, oh father I know it hasn't been easy
To be there for me.
Father, oh father I know it hasn't been easy
But you will stay in my mind always!
