Hey Papa, wanna thank you so
For who you is and what you be and all that ya do
Oh I said you, yeh, you, you always taught me right from wrong
I ain't got much, but Papa I wrote you this song, oh yeah

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, yeah... son you're not alone

A hard road is what it's gonna be
When I think of all you been and done
So glad I got to know ya Papa
I'm so glad I was the chosen one
I'm so glad I was the chosen one
I'm so glad, so glad I was the chosen one

Oh I said you, yeh, you, always seemed find some time
Beyond my dying day, you'll always be a friend of mine
And I said you, ya left some big shoes to fill
I'll do my best to make ya proud
I promise that I will, yeah I will

All the pain and the suffering I watched you ignore
From a poor boy, through the ruins of war
Now when my life is over and I done found my home, yeah
Just remember, yeah... son you're not alone, no
A hard road is what it's gonna be
When I think of all you been and done
So glad I got to know ya Papa
I'm so glad I was the chosen one
I'm so glad I was the chosen one
I'm so glad, so glad I was the chosen one

[Solo]

A hard road is what it's gonna be
When I think of all you been and done
So glad I got to know ya Papa
I'm so glad I was the chosen one, that's right

A hard road is what it's gonna be
When I think of all you been and done
So glad I got to know ya Papa
I'm so glad I was the chosen one
I'm just so glad I was the chosen one
I'm so glad, yeah, glad I was the chosen one, yeah
Yeah, I'm glad
Yeah, yeah

I love you papa
