Father, Man

[ verse ] (Hmm Hm mmm) You should have been what you didn't become... ( Au ou ou ) [Post-refrain] You were supposed to be the father, not the other father. You're supposed to be the happiness, not the disappointment. [Verse 2]. You were meant to be the sun that warms. A beautiful, humble soul that smiles. Who understands the language of my soul... When you see your own children, your heart overflows with love. A father who is kind and not strict. (He smiles at those who stand by you. Be kind to your mother and father) [Chorus] You should have been... a father... You should have been... a role model... You should have been the man who would have been my role model. Be the man Cherish life Cherish what you have Cherish those who love you! You should have stood by me, not lied to me! [ Verse 4 ] I'm too old to worry about you It's been too long! (I'm learning to be myself) You ain't learned nothing yet That's why I can't stand by your side. I can't lie and play your games! [ Bridging ] I'm tired of watching you run away. I'm old enough to deal with all this again. I'm tired of dealing with old wrongs that open old wounds, No lessons learned! You don't want to hear it! [Chorus] That you were supposed to be the sun that warms... Beautiful, humble soul... Listen to my soul speak. And the sight of my children makes my heart melt with love. A father kind and not stern Smile at those who stand by you Be kind to your mother and father. (Be kind, helpful and not mean)
