Father
Look at me now
Do I make you proud?
Father
I get knock down and I get up again
I cry not
But my legs tremble
Do I make you proud?
Father
I made my step to adulthood
Without your father figure
Had my first beating today
But I cry not
Do I make you proud?
Father
Buy me a gun today
Made my first kill
I cry not
But I weep inside
Why Father?
Father
I'm a man now
Looking through my barred sky
I cry not
But I shake inside
Where are you Father?
Father
Today I face my chair
Going to look for you
Will you be proud of me.... Father?
