Sequenced by ChartChai MeeSangNinjeridu@yahoo.comI 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
There's no guarentee
in the plans I 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 light
And I pray someday I might
light as bright as he
Woke up early one bright fall day
to spread the tragic news
After all my travels
I settled down
within a mile or two
I make my living
with words and rhyme,
and all this tragedy
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"
