I build a fence around you in a fathers way
I try to feel what it is your going through
Cos Ive played many ways
When you grow, how much will it take to slow you down
Half the way?
Do my best to please you and I do whats right
I try to find each word that Ill 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
And How far will you go?
And How high will you climb?
And when all in lifes unfair
Are you strong enough to find another way, another way
Another way?
A Fathers way
I build a fence around you in a fathers way
Just like the one who used to preach to me
Now Ive become that way
But you know
How soft now the hand that used to strike
To the heart
I want you to know
And One day when the fence is not so high
The road you took
And How far will you go?
And How high will you climb?
And when all in lifes unfair
Are you strong enough to find another way, another way
A fathers way
Find another way?
Find another way? A Father's way
Theres no way
You will stay
Theres no way
I know you
Theres no way
You will stay
Theres no way
I know you
Theres no way
That your gonna stay, theres no way
I build a fence around you in a fathers way
