Papa

[Verse 1]
No ordinary man, with no ordinary life
Raised a large young family with the help of his wife
Wouldn't lie if it killed him, worked hard to provide
My friend my example, was taken from my side
We cried, we cried
And the tears they came and stayed
My eyes, oh they opened and I saw where he was laid

[Chorus]
Where are you pa?
Can you hear me from there?
I don’t think I can deal with all these fears
Woa oh a oh

I need you now, and I fall to my knees
But I stop and feel him whisper to me
Don't cry my boy this is not good bye
Don't shed a tear you stop that cryin
I’m hear with you

[Post-Chorus]
Hold your head up high so I can see you in the crowd
I'll watch you from heaven live right and make me proud, make me proud

[Verse 2]
Silver hair, contagious smile, I looked to him as a small young child
We laughed about life and oh it's cruel realities, but I never thought for an instant about it's fatalities
And I hung on every breath until I hung on his last, and he smiled until the end, but it came way to fast

And my mom, she just cried, and I searched deep in side
And I found this wasn't the end, and the world had just lied

[Chorus]
Where are you pa?
Can you hear me from there?
I don't think I can deal with all these fears
Woa oh a oh

I need you now, and I fall to my knees
But I stop and feel him whisper to me
Don't cry my boy this is not good bye
Don't shed a tear you stop that cryin
I’m hear with you

[Post-Chorus]
Hold your head up high so I can see you in the crowd
I’ll watch you from heaven, live right and make me proud, make me proud
