nana kwame - father lyrics

[intro: jan van der toorn]
father! why did you go
and leave me alone ?

[chorus: jan van der toorn]
father! oh father!
i know it hasn’t been easy
to be there for me
oh my father! oh father!
i know it hasn’t been easy
but you will stay in my mind always

[verse 1]
first of all we’re boys, our stage the playground
fight, tease, laugh on the merry go round
think about careers, who’s the king with the crown
we do everything to prevent going down
our nature : boys must be boys
in a early stage of life, you got to make a choice
we got to work, we got to work hard
play fair on different days with the same cards
it ain’t easy, it ain’t easy to be the man
to find the right woman who cares and understands
but if you do, keep my words in your mind
love is god’s gift, unique and genuine
do me a favor : think about your life
do the right think at the right place and time
have patience : exactly what you need
i’m blessed to be a father ask your dad : “yes indeed!”

[chorus: jan van der toorn]
father! oh father!
i know it hasn’t been easy
to be there for me
oh my father! oh father!
i know it hasn’t been easy
but you will stay in my mind always

[verse 2]
i’m sorry! didn’t mean to make you cry
my dad also left and i still don’t know why
i miss my daddy, he was strong bold and wise
i wonder if i’ll see him and, if yes, dead or alive
i wanna thank and praise the heavenly father
protection for my family my sister and two brothers
all we need is some food and shelter
keep us going on at any kind of weather
a lot of families split, drift apart
how many men have i seen sleeping in the dark ?!
you never know, everybody has his story
the most men smile even though they should have to worry
we got to keep on, we got a good reason
if it’s not for yourself, at least the kids need the feeding
i’m very proud to be the man that i am
thank you mum and dad, i’ll do the best that i can

[bridge: jan van der toorn]
you did all you could, it wasn’t enough
i didn’t understand why you were gone
now i’m a father of my own
and i’m trying my best

[chorus: jan van der toorn]
father! oh father!
i know it hasn’t been easy
to be there for me
oh my father! oh father!
i know it hasn’t been easy
but you will stay in my mind always
