Hey Papa, wanna thank you so

For who you is and what you be and all that ya do

You, yeh, you, you always taught me right from wrong

I ain¹t got much but Papa I done wrote you this song



All the pain and suffering I watched you ignore

From a poor boy, through the ruins of war

When my life is over and I done found my home

Just remember ... son you¹re not alone



A hard road is what it¹s gonna be

When I think of all you been and done

So glad I got to know ya Papa

So glad I was the chosen one

So glad I was the chosen one



You, yeh, you, always seemed find some time

Beyond my dying day, you¹ll always be a friend of mine

And you, ya left some big shoes to fill

I¹ll do my best to make ya proud

I promise that I will

All the pain and suffering I watched you ignore

From a poor boys, through the ruins of war

When my life is over and I done found my home

Just remember... son you¹re not alone



A hard road is what it¹s gonna be

When I think of all you been and done

So glad I got to know ya Papa

So glad I was the chosen one

So glad I was the chosen one
