Lyrics:
I woke up crying late at night
When I was very young
Thad dreamed my father
Had passed away and gone
My world revolved around him 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 want to 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 lust had the fare
got half, will you loan me the rest?'
And I said "Daddy, I'm so afraid
There's no guarantee in the plans l'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 vou
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
That's mv iob vou see
