Everyday my papa would work
To try to make ends meet
To see that we would eat
Keep those shoes upon my feet
Everynight my papa would take me
Tuck me in my bed.
Kiss me on my head
After all my prayers were said
There were years of sadness
and of tears
Through it all, together we were strong
We were strong
The times were rough
But papa, he was tough
He was tough
And mama, she stood beside him all along
All along
Growing up with them was easy...
...time just flew on by
The years began to fly
They aged, but so did I
I could tell...
Mama wasn't well
And papa knew and deep down so did she
So did she
And when she died
Papa broke down and he cried
And all he could say was 'God why her?'
'Take me'
Take me
Everyday he sat there sleeping
in his rocking chair
He never went upstairs
'Cause she wasn't there
Then one day, my papa said 'Son'
'I'm proud of how you've grown'
He said 'Go make it on your own'
'And don't worry, I'm okay alone'
He said
'There are things you must do'
'Places you must see'
His eyes were sad as he
As he said 'Goodbye' to me
Everytime I kiss my children
Papa's words ring true
He said 'Your children, they live through you'
They grow, they leave you too
I remember every word
My papa used to say
I kiss my kids and I pray
That they'll think of me
...that way...
