From the recording Father
Lyrics
FATHER
Father - until we meet again
You’ll be no farther
Than the beat of my heart so when
Father - the tears begin to fall
I’ll think of the days you stood
Like a tower so strong and tall
So now father - lay down your head and rest
And let The Father - take care of all the rest
Yes father - lay down your head and rest
And let The Father in Heaven - take care of all the rest
Giver of all who were in need
Defender of our family
Nothing too rough or ever too tough
He could always find the remedy
If the chips were down
He would turn them around
Make you wish you weren’t playin the game
He was always straight up never pulled a punch
But in his heart love was the aim
Father - until we meet again
You’ll be no farther
Than the beat of my heart so when
Father - the tears begin to fall
I’ll think of the days you stood
Like a tower so strong and tall
So now father - lay down your head and rest
And let The Father - take care of all the rest
Yes father - lay down your head and rest
And let The Father in Heaven - take care of all the rest
Started out at five no time to be a child
Had to hustle anyway he knew how
With his father at war he was left with the chore
Had to be the man of the house
At the age of fourteen he was a self made machine
Had a trade and was never afraid
To work real hard and he always possessed
A positive attitude God used
Father - until we meet again
You’ll be no farther
Than the beat of my heart so when
Father - the tears begin to fall
I’ll think of the days you stood
Like a tower so strong and tall
So now father - lay down your head and rest
And let The Father in Heaven - take care of all the rest
Father
