That's My Job |
I 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’ve got half, will you loan me the rest?» |
And I said, «Daddy, I’m so afraid |
There’s no guarantee in the plans I’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 you, to keep you safe with me |
That’s my job, you see» |
Every person carves his spot, and fills the hole with life |
And I pray someday I might, light as bright as he |
Woke up early one bright fall day, read the tragic news |
After all my travels, I’ve settled down, within a mile or two |
I make my livin' with words and rhymes, 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 |
