Life's been getting harder every day

I don't know what to do or what to say

Nothing seems quite right, I think I lost my fight

Do you think I'll live to see another day?

You know I hate the job that I've been working at

But life just seems to go like that

Out here on my own, well, I feel so alone

Father, won't you let me come home?



Could you help me, father, could you help me out?

Could you show me what to do or what to say?

If you can't I understand, cos I know you're just a man

You're my father, so that's OK



I still don't know what I want to be

The world around me seems so crazy

Criminals in power, the streets no longer safe

What kind of man would I want to be?

There's a girl I love and you know I want to marry

She's everything I hoped she would be

So poppa if you would, give some tips to help me out

So I'll know how to raise a family



Now I know you're not the wisest man to ever walk the earth

But I know Someone who just might be

So I'll stop stressing you with all the questions that I have

I'll go to the One who gave you me



If I keep to Your Word and I pray everyday

You promise to show me Your way
