My Old Man

Try

If they try to shut you out, stay by my side (Stay by my side)

If I cry (If I cry)

If I cry, you say, hold your head up high (Hold your head up high)

Daddy used to struggle from the start

Never given up but we gonna run a lot

Bring that money home saying, boy don't cry

No limit to the sky

Hold on, hold on to the rope

Thats our only hope

Lovers ain't born, they're made in wars

Don't you worry child

Life is but a ride

That's what you taught me papa

No need to say

I see it in your face

That's what you taught me, that's what you taught me

That's what you taught me papa

No need to say

I see it in your face

Papa you left you mark on my heart

I feel in my blood

In my blood

You never left me papa

You left your mark on my heart

I feel it deep in my soul

I know you love me because you showed me papa

Dear papa, should have slowed down papa

Hold your hand like you used to hold mine papa

Be the stake that you can hold onto papa

You walk so gentle, you used to walk like Mufasah

I hate losing my patience with you papa

Did you ever lose yours with me papa?

I know I do with your grandson

I just don't hope what goes around, comes around

Cause that would be pretty bad news for me papa

How are you feeling?

Cause lately there've been too many hospital visits for my liking

I guess that's why I work out so much

You told me to carry my own weight

But first let me carry yours cause that's what you taught me papa

That's what you taught me papa

I know you love me papa

And you don't need to say

I see it in your face

That's what you taught me

That's what you taught me

That's what you taught me papa

And you don't need to say

I see it in your face

Papa you left your mark on my heart

I feel it in my blood

In my blood

You never left me papa

You left your mark on my heart

I feel in deep in my soul

I know you love me

If they try (If they try)

If they try to shut you out, stay by my side (Stay by my side)

If I cry (If I cry)

If I cry, you say, hold your head up high (Hold your head up high)

That's what you taught me papa

No need to say

I see it in your face

That's what you taught me

Thats what you taught me

That's what you taught me papa

No need to say

I see it in your face

Papa you left your mark on my heart

I feel it in my blood

In my blood

You never left me papa

You left your mark on my heart

I know you love me because you showed me papa

I know you loved me, you showed me

Oh you left your mark on my heart

You left your mark on my heart
