I build a fence around you in a fathers way I try to feel what it is your going through Cos Ive played many ways When you grow, how much will it take to slow you down Half the way? Do my best to please you and I do whats right I try to find each word that Ill 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 And How far will you go? And How high will you climb? And when all in lifes unfair Are you strong enough to find another way, another way Another way? A Fathers way I build a fence around you in a fathers way Just like the one who used to preach to me Now Ive become that way But you know How soft now the hand that used to strike To the heart I want you to know And One day when the fence is not so high The road you took And How far will you go? And How high will you climb? And when all in lifes unfair Are you strong enough to find another way, another way A fathers way Find another way? Find another way? A Father's way Theres no way You will stay Theres no way I know you Theres no way You will stay Theres no way I know you Theres no way That your gonna stay, theres no way I build a fence around you in a fathers way
