Now I said Hey papa, wanna thank you so
For who you is and what you did and all that you do
Now I say, 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, 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 you, papa
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
Now I say you, yeah, you, oh you always seemed find some time
Beyond my dying day, you'll always be a friend of mine
Now I say you, you left some big shoes to fill
I'll do my best to make you proud I promise that I will
Yeah, 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, 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 you, papa
I'm so glad I was the chosen one
I'm so glad, so glad I was the chosen one
Son, you are 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 you, 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 you, papa
I'm so glad I was the chosen one
I'm just so glad I was the chosen one
I'm so glad, glad I was the chosen one, yeah
