00:00...
00:26Every day my papa would work to try to make ends meet
00:33To see that we would eat, keep those shoes upon my feet
00:41Every night my papa would take me, tuck me in my bed
00:49Kiss me on my head after all my prayers were said
00:58There were years of sadness and of tears
01:04Through it all together we were strong, we were strong
01:12The times were rough, but papa he was tough
01:20And mama she stood beside him all along
01:28Growing up with them was easy, time just flew on by
01:34The years began to fly, they aged, but so did I
01:44I could tell mama wasn't well
01:51And papa knew, and deep down so did she, so did she
01:59And when she died, papa broke down and he cried
02:07And all he could say was, God why her, take me
02:15Every day he sat there sleeping in his rocking chair
02:23He never went upstairs, cause she wasn't there
02:31Then one day my papa said, son, I'm proud of how you've grown
02:39He said, go make it on your own, and don't worry, I'm okay alone
02:46He said, there are things you must do, places you must see
02:54His eyes were sad as he, as he said goodbye to me
03:03Every time I kiss my children, papa's words ring true
03:10He said, your children, they live through you, and they grow, they need you too
03:19I remember every word my papa used to say
03:26I kiss my kids and I pray that they'll think, think of me that way
03:39Someday
