A Father's Way - Seal

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

I try to feel what it is you’ll be going through

Co’s 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 when I do what’s right

I try to find the words that I’ll say to you

When you come home tonight

And if so, how hard will we cry before our sound

Fades away?

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?

A Father’s way

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

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, find another way

find another way?

There’s no way

You will stay

There’s no way

I know you

There’s no way

You will stay

There’s no way

I know you.
