Dad, how do I repay you for all that
you’ve done for me
All that you've taught me has earned
interest
In this life that I lead
In this life that I lead
Before I’ve thought of it you’ve done it,
you'd always say that with such a smile
Your advice wanders down corridors in my
mind
Always with a moral inside
Always with a moral inside
CODA And
all though we haven't always seen eye to eye
I know we've always tried, we tried
While we did what we had to do
CHR. We
did what we had to do
We did what we had to do
Well it wasn’t always easy, no, it wasn’t
always hard
We made our sacrifices to get us where we
are
And we’d do it all over again
Just to see these things happen
In your life and my life too
And all that we’ve been through
While I wrestled my ambitions I ignored
the footsteps of advice
A man in search of experience
So I could write my own story lines
So I could write my own story lines
Any time we haven’t spent together I know
you’ve worked your ass off for me
As I hear my own baby starting to cry
Your words have now become mine
Your words have now become mine
[CODA] [CHR.]
As I hear my own baby starting to cry
Your words have now become mine
Your words have now become mine
Your words have now become mine
