dad
i woke up crying late at night
dreamed my farther had passed away and gone
my world revoled around him
i couldn't lie there anymore
so i made my way down the mirrored hall
and tapped upon his door
and i said daddy i'm so afraid
how will i go on with you gone that way
don't want to cry anymore
so may i stay with you
and he said that my job
that what i do
everything i do is because of you
to keep you safe with me thats my job you see
