Yeah…
Sometimes a man can work his whole life…
Give everything he got…
And still watch the walls fall down around him…
But one thing about a father’s love…
It don’t quit.
Oh yeah… iii yo yo yo…
Follow me…
[Verse 1]
Early morning, steel-toe shoes by the door
Lunchbox packed, couldn’t ask for more
Little girl smiling while she tugged on my sleeve
“Daddy, don’t go…” but I had mouths to feed
Worked those hours till my hands turned numb
Rain outside but the paycheck come
Tried to build a life so my family could stand
Put my whole heart inside these hands
But life got cold without warning signs
One phone call changed my whole timeline
Boss looked down, couldn’t look in my eyes
Said, “We letting people go tonight…”
Now I’m standing in silence, holding that pain
Walking back home in the pouring rain
[Hook / Chorus]
Why me…?
Why everything fall apart around me…?
I gave them all I had inside me…
Still feel the world collapsing on me…
Why me…?
Tell me why my little girl gotta see this…
Trying so hard just to fight through weakness…
Lord please tell me there’s a reason…
Oh yeah…
Iii yo yo yo…
Stop it… stop it now…
Hear my cry…
[Verse 2]
Lights getting dim and the rent past due
Looking at my daughter, what’m I supposed to do?
She holding a toy in the middle of the store
I’m counting every dollar, heart broke to the core
But she looked at me and smiled so sweet
Like somehow Daddy still made life complete
That hit deep… deeper than words
Sometimes love is the loudest thing heard
Inside I’m shattered, trying not to break
Smile on my face while my soul just ache
People walk past like they don’t even see
A grown man drowning silently
Why me…?
Why my family gotta hurt like this?
Why every dream feel dangerous?
[Bridge]
But I refuse to let the darkness win
Even when the storm keep closing in
I’ll stand back up, I’ll fight again
For my daughter… till the very end
You gon’ know your Daddy loved you true
Even when life split our world in two
Every sacrifice… every scar you see
Was me trying to give you better than me
Mike White Cloudwalker…
Still standing…
Still breathing…
Still believing…
[Final Chorus]
Why me…?
Maybe one day I’ll understand this pain
Maybe these tears wasn’t poured in vain
Maybe sunshine follows hard rain…
Why me…?
Because a father’s love don’t run away
Even when his whole world break
He still gets down on his knees and pray…
Oh yeah…
Iii yoe. yoe. yo…
Follow me…follow Me
Through the pain…
Through the struggle…
Into hope…
[Outro – Spoken]
One day my little girl gonna grow up…
And maybe she’ll remember…
Daddy tried.
Even when he was broken inside…
He tried.
And if you listening to this right now…
Don’t give up on your family.
Sometimes the strongest men cry too…
Yeah…
Mike White CloudWalker said
let's go Speed…
Oh yeah…gone
