Al†Enta - Father's Child (feat. Malelah Poet)

When I was younger, in the dead of the night
I would wake up in tears, sometimes cry out in fear
Of all I didn't know, all the troubles and wars
The darkness weighing on my heart
And He'd say, Son I love you
I'd set nothing above you
Through every situation I'll be right there beside you
Now the joy of my heart and the peace in my soul's because
I am my father's child
And He loves me, He'll never forsake me and I
Am in love with the joy that that brings
And I'll find my peace and rest in knowing I…..
I am my Father's Chiiiiiiiiiiiiild
I am my father's child
Uuuuuu oooooo ooooooo
Dear Papa
Don't think I haven't noticed
How you tuck us in and then stay up late to think
And to sometimes cry
I am awake on all those nights
I am a baby no more in whose eyes the world is a eutopia
For those days are long gone
It is all black and white now
Those times you are so hungry but you insist on fixing more of your rations onto our plates
How do you survive? Because the last time I checked, you are still a loader
Weighing heavy bags of cement on your weather beaten shoulders
Is that why your bad cough never goes away?
Papa, I'm worried.
I saw your handkerchief yesterday, it was bloody.
Can't you spare some cash for you this time and visit the dispensary?
All the same, Papa.
I want you to know that you are my hero.
For the number of times you've had to fake joy so I couldn't know sadness
For how hard you work so that I may never lack
Every night that you were beaten and tired but you read me bedtime tales and rocked me to sleep
You. Are. Phenomenal.
And He loves me, He'll never forsake me and I
Am in love with the joy that that brings
And I'll find my peace and rest in knowing I…..
I am my Father's Chiiiiiiiiiiiiild
I am my father's child
Uuuuuu oooooo ooooooo
For every day, and everything
That you grace my life with, I love you
For every moment, and every strength
That I draw from you, I love you
Oh I looove you.
