<b>Father And Friend</b> by <i>Alain Clark</i><br />Oh pappa sit down and hear my song,

oh and if you feel like it then please sing along.

No nothing that I want to say I haven't said before,

but to use your words you can never be too sure.

See even though, I don't always show,

I'm glad that you're around.

I said I'm glad that you're around.

Oh son, it's so strange to hear and see,

that someone so different, is so like me.

You may have gone right, where I would have gone left.

But son that's alright, I will always have your back.

See even though, I don't always show,

I 'm glad that you're my son.

Old days and all of the new wanting to be like you.

Every time I look at you, I see myself.

For you help make me what I am.

A better man.

I'm just so proud of you.

Oh dad, your views in life tell me how it came to be.

Well see, I didn't know my father like the way that you know me.

Son, life is just too short for us to never be in touch.

Oh even though, I don't always show you know.

And I want you to know that.

I'm here and I'll be if I can a father and a friend.

Everytime I look at you.

Everytime I look at you, I see myself and I'm so proud of you.

For you help make me what I am, a son and a friend.

I'm just so proud of you.

You know that one day too, I'll be walking in your shoes.

Yeah and I know that you'll do fine, 'cause you're a son of mine.

Oh hey papa, tell me what you've learned so that I don't get my fingers burned.

Son you'll see that as you go, you'll make mistakes of your own.

But that's okay man, see you live and you learn.

You live and you learn
