Hey Papa, wanna thank you so
For who you is and what you be and all that ya do
You, yeh, you, you always taught me right from wrong
I ainÂ?t got much but Papa I done wrote you this song
All the pain and suffering I watched you ignore
From a poor boy, through the ruins of war
When my life is over and I done found my home
Just remember ... son youÂ?re not alone
A hard road is what itÂ?s gonna be
When I think of all you been and done
So glad I got to know ya Papa
So glad I was the chosen one
So glad I was the chosen one
You, yeh, you, always seemed find some time
Beyond my dying day, youÂ?ll always be a friend of mine
And you, ya left some big shoes to fill
IÂ?ll do my best to make ya proud
I promise that I will
All the pain and suffering I watched you ignore
From a poor boys, through the ruins of war
When my life is over and I done found my home
Just remember... son youÂ?re not alone
A hard road is what itÂ?s gonna be
When I think of all you been and done
So glad I got to know ya Papa
So glad I was the chosen one
So glad I was the chosen one
