I build a fence around
you in a father's way
I try to feel what it is
you'll going through
cos I've played many ways
When you grow
how much will it take to
slow you down half the way
Do my best to feed you and
I do what's right
I try to find each word
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 another way
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
I want you to know
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
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
There's no way
I know you
There's no way
that you are gonna stay
There's no way
I build a fence around you
in a father's way
