Yeah…
Sometimes a man can work his whole life…
And still watch the walls fall down all around him…
But one thing about a father’s love…
His love - don't quit- don’t quit.
Oh yeah… iii yo yo yo…can you see me
can you feel the pain , so why me
oh yea I can Follow you-So tell me
you can - follow me… early morning give me a cup of coffee to start with and put on my
[Verse 1], 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…” please stay but I had to go out that door heading to work so I
Worked those hours till my hands turned numb
It's raining outside but the paycheck at hand
Tried to build a life so my family could stand
Put my whole heart inside these hands
But life got cold without warning signs
months have passed planning on something big something exciting until this
One phone call changed my whole life.
so I had to go in early the
Boss looked down, couldn’t look into my eyes
Said, “We are 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 not somebody else why me
Why is everything falling apart around me…?
I gave them all I had inside me…I
I still feel the world collapsing around me…
Why me…?ooo oooo oh
Tell me why my little girl got to see me sad so sad Im…
Trying so hard just to fight through this weakness…
Lord please tell me there’s a reason…
Oh yeah…
oo oo ooo yo yo yo…why come on
Stop it… stop it - stop it Now…
oh Hear my cry…
[Verse 2]
Lights getting cut off- soon 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 is every dream feeling 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
just know your Daddy loved you.
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…said
Still standing…
Still breathing…
Still believing…
[Final Chorus]
Why me
one day I’ll understand this pain
these tears poured down my vain
look up and see sunshine followed by hard rain…
Why me…?
Because a father’s love doesn’t run away
Even when his whole world breaks
He still gets down on his knees and prays…
Oh yeah…
come on
Follow me…
Through the pain…
Through the struggle…
Into hope…
[Outro – Spoken]
One day my little girl is going to grow up…
And maybe she’ll remember…
Daddy always makes things happen
