I build a fence around you in a father’s way.
I try to feel what it is you’ll be going through cos I’ve played many ways.
When you grow, how much will it take to slow you down half the way?
Do my best to feed you and I do what’s right.
I try to find each word I’ll say to you when you come home tonight.
And if so, how hard will we cry before our sound fades away?
One day when the fence is not so high the road you took how far will you go?
How high will you climb?
And when all in life’s unfair, are you strong enough to find another way, another way,
another way?
A Father’s way
I build a fence around you in a father’s way just like the one who used to preach to me.
Now I’ve become that way.
But you know, how soft now the hand that used to strike to the heart?
I want you to know.
One day when the fence is not so high the road you took how far will you go?
How high will you climb?
And when all in life’s unfair, are you strong enough to find another way, another way?
A father's way.
Find another way. Find another way.
A father's way.
There’s no way.
You will stay.
There’s no way.
I know you.
There’s no way.
You will stay.
There’s no way.
I know you.
There's no way that you are gonna stay.
There's no way.
