A Father's Way Songtext
von Seal

Ba-ra-ba, ba-ra-ba-ba, ba-ra-ba-ba
Ba-ra-ba, ba-ra-ba-ba

I build a fence around you in a father′s way
I try to feel what it is you're going through
′Cause I've played many ways
When you grow
How much will it take to slow you down half the way?
Do my best to please you and I do what's right
I try to find each word that I′ll say to you
When you come home tonight
And if so
How hard will we cry before our sound fades away?

And one day when the fence is not so high
The road you took
How far will you go?
How high will you climb?
And when all in life′s unfair


Are you strong enough to find another way?
Another way
Another way
A father's way (ba-ra-ba, ba-ra-ba-ba)
He-he-hey (ba-ra-ba-ba)

I build a fence around you in a father′s way
Just like the one who used to preach to me
Now I've become that way
But you know
How soft now the hand that used to strike
To the heart (I want you to know)

And one day when the fence is not so high
The road you took
How far will you go?
How high will you climb?
And when all in life′s unfair

Are you strong enough to find another way?
Another way
A father's way
Find another way
Find another way
Ooh, a father′s way


There's no way you will stay
There's no way, I know you
There′s no way you will stay, ooh
There′s no way, I know you
There's no way that you′re gonna stay
There's no way

I build a fence around you in a father′s way
