I build a fence around you in a father’s waynI try to feel what it is you’ll be going throughnCo’s I’ve played many waysnWhen you grow, how much will it take to slow you down…nHalf the way?nnDo my best to feed you and I do what’s rightnI try to find the words that I’ll say to younWhen you come home tonightnAnd if so, how hard will we cry before our soundnFades away?nnOne day when the fence is not so highnThe road you tooknHow far will you go?nHow high will you climb?nAnd when all in life’s unfairnAre you strong enough to find another way, find another waynfind another way?nnA Father’s waynnI build a fence around you in a father’s waynJust like the one who used to preach to menNow I’ve become that waynBut you knownHow soft now the hand that used to strikenTo the heartnnOne day when the fence is not so highnThe road you tooknHow far will you go?nHow high will you climb?nAnd when all in life’s unfairnAre you strong enough to find another way, find another waynfind another way?nnThere’s no waynYou will staynThere’s no waynI know younThere’s no waynYou will staynThere’s no waynI know you.nn
