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 ain't got much, but Papa I 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 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

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, you'll always be a friend of mine

And you, ya left some big shoes to fill

I'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 boy, through the ruins of war

When my life is over and I done found my home

Just remember... 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

So glad I was the chosen one

So glad I was the chosen one
