Father To The Man lyrics
Am I not a man and a brother too
Do I not feel the same as you do
Half the world knows not the other half
And half the world cries while the other laughs
That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Try to hold on for a bit longer
Try to hold on for a bit longer
I have the right to stay
I was given this day
No man shall take it away
No, no man shall take it away
Were we not all born to a living pain
A drowning man cares not if it rains
The living need charity more than the dead
Truth is stranger than fiction some one once said
See the cruelest lies are told in silence
Words can kill you as much as violence
Words can kill you as much as violence
Come what will, come what may
I was given this day
No man shall take it away
No, no man shall take it away
Listen to the confessions of a sinner
If it’s not you then don’t look in the mirror
To get by you got to walk the high wire
You got to win every trial by fire
To arrive back where it all began
The boy is father to the man
The boy is father to the man
The milk of human kindness has run dry
Seeds are killed in the twinkling of an eye
Live for today as tomorrow never comes
There will soon be no where for us to run
Into every life a little rain falls
The sun always shines above the wall
The sun always shines above the wall
This is what I must say
I was given this day
No man shall take it away
No, no man shall take it away
See I have made it through against all odds
As I go on with the grace of God
It took a long time for me to understand
Coz I’m just a nice unparticular man
Who tries to be true and sharp and precise
And not get lost in a fools paradise
And not get lost in a fools paradise
I walk along the way
I was given this day
No man shall take it away
No man shall take it away
No, no man shall take it away
