Di matamu masih tersimpan selaksa peristiwa
Benturan dan hempasan terpahat di keningmu
Kau nampak tua dan lelah, keringat mengucur deras
Namun kau tetap tabah hm...
Meski nafasmu kadang tersengal
Memikul beban yang makin sarat
Kau tetap bertahan

Engkau telah mengerti hitam dan merah jalan ini
Keriput tulang pipimu gambaran perjuangan
Bahumu yang dulu kekar, legam terbakar matahari
Kini kurus dan terbungkuk hm...
Namun semangat tak pernah pudar
Meski langkahmu kadang gemetar
Kau tetap setia

Ayah, dalam hening sepi kurindu
Untuk menuai padi milik kita
Tapi kerinduan tinggal hanya kerinduan
Anakmu sekarang banyak menanggung beban

Engkau telah mengerti hitam dan merah jalan ini
Keriput tulang pipimu gambaran perjuangan
Bahumu yang dulu kekar, legam terbakar matahari
Kini kurus dan terbungkuk hm...
Namun semangat tak pernah pudar
Meski langkahmu kadang gemetar
Kau tetap setia

This whole war in me

You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feeling this
I can't believe I'm saying it

I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
A second chance

Father, I'm gonna say thank you
Even if I don't understand
Oh, you left us alone
I guess that made me who I am

Always wished you the best
I, I, I pray for your peace
Even if you started this
This whole war in me

You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feeling this
I can't believe I'm saying it

I know you were a troubled man
I know you never got the chance
To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you

You did your best or did you?
Sometimes I think I hate you
I'm sorry, dad, for feeling this

To be yourself, to be your best
I hope that heaven's given you
A second chance

When you used to take me on a bike ride every day on the Bayou (you remember that?)
(We were inseparable)
And I remember when you could do no wrong
You'd come home from work
And I jumped in your arms when I saw you (I was so excited)
I was so happy (so happy to see you, so happy to see you)
To see you

Because you loved me I overcome, yeah
And I'm so proud of what you've become, yeah
You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I make you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you heal my pain
You understood my biz and you protected me
I treasure every irreplaceable memory and that's why

I want
My unborn son
To be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you (thank you)
For lovin' me (daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy)
(Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy) me (lovin' me)
(Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy) (lovin' me)
(Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy)

I still remember the expression on your face
When you found out I'd been on a date and had a boyfriend, oh
(My first boyfriend, you should've seen your face)
I still remember I called you cryin' 'cause of my tattoo
Could have said, "Beyoncé, I told ya so"
Instead you said you'd get one too, hey
(You and my momma said y'all'd get one just like mine)
Words can't express my boundless gratitude for you
I appreciate what you do, oh whoa

You've given me such security
No matter what mistakes I know you're there for me
You cure my disappointments and you'll heal my pain
You understood by biz and you protected me
I treasure every extraordinary memory, that's why

My unborn son
To be like my daddy
I want my husband to be like my daddy
There is no one else like my daddy
And I thank you (thank you) for loving me

Even if my man broke my heart today
No matter how much pain I'm in I would be okay, oh
'Cause I got a man in my life that can't be replaced
Father's love is unconditional, it won't go away
And I know I'm lucky (lucky)
Know it ain't easy (it ain't easy)
Men who take care of their responsibilities
Love is overwhelming
All that you did pay for me, ah
Can't stop my tears from falling
I love you so much, daddy

Thank you (my unborn son to be like my daddy)
You've done so much for me (want my husband to be like my daddy)
I love you, daddy

I get so emotional, daddy (there is no one else like my daddy)
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, daddy (and I thank you)
Every time I think of you
There is no one else like my daddy
No one else will replace my daddy (there is no one else like my daddy)
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy

Ayah dengarlah betapa sesungguhnya kumencintaimu
Kan kubuktikan kumampu penuhi semua maumu

Andaikan detik itu kan bergulir kembali
Kurindukan suasana basuh jiwaku Membahagiakan aku yang haus akan kasih dan sayangmu
Tuk wujudkan segala sesuatu yang pernah terlewati

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again, ooh

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me, yeah, yeah
Then finally make me do just what my momma said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance, one final step
One final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved?
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

It's funny that way, you can get used
To the tears and the pain
What a child will believe
You never loved me

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

Seems like yesterday
I lay down next to your boots and I prayed
For your anger to end
Oh Father I have sinned

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

Oh Father you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me
Why am I running away
Oh Father you never wanted to live that way
You never wanted to hurt me
Why am I running away

Maybe someday
When I look back I'll be able to say
You didn't mean to be cruel
Somebody hurt you too

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good about myself

You can't hurt me now
I got away from you, I never thought I would
You can't make me cry, you once had the power
I never felt so good by myself

Now dad this is a very sensitive subject

Just the two of us, oh, oh, yeah
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)

From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms
I knew I'd meet death 'fore I'd let you meet harm
Although questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough?
Against wrong, choose right and be standin' up?

From the hospital that first night
Took a hour just to get the car seat in right
People drivin' all fast, got me kinda upset
Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette

That night I don't think one wink I slept
As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept
Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt
'Cause I know I loved you more than life itself

Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please
Let me be a good daddy, all he needs
Love, knowledge, discipline too
I pledge my life to you

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us (just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

Five years old, bringin' comedy
Every time I look at you I think man, a little me
Just like me, wait and see gonna be tall
Makes me laugh 'cause you got your dads ears an all

Sometimes I wonder, what you gon' be?
A general, a doctor, maybe a MC
Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time
But I will test that butt when you cut outta line, true that

Uh-uh-uh, why you do that?
I try to be a tough dad, but you be makin' me laugh
Crazy joy, when I see the eyes of my baby boy
I pledge to you, I will always do

Everything I can
Show you how to be a man
Dignity, integrity, honor and
I don't mind if you lose, 'long as you came with it
And you can cry, ain't no shame it it

It didn't work out with me and your mom
But yo, push come to shove, you was conceived in love
So if the world attacks, and you slide off track
Remember one fact, I got your back

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us (just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

It's a full-time job to be a good dad
You got so much more stuff than I had
I gotta study just to keep with the changin' times
101 Dalmations on your CD-ROM

See me-I'm, tryin' to pretend I know
On my PC where that CD go
But yo, ain't nothin' promised, one day I'll be gone
Feel the strife, but trust life does go wrong

But just in case, it's my place to impart
One day some girl's gonna break your heart
And, ooh, ain't no pain like from the opposite sex
Gonna hurt bad, but don't take it out on the next, son

Throughout life people will make you mad
Disrespect you and treat you bad
Let God deal with the things they do
'Cause hate in your heart will consume you too

Always tell the truth, say your prayers
Hold doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears
You're living proof that dreams do come true
I love you and I'm here for you

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try
Just the two of us (just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I (can't nothin' hold us down)

Just the two of us (just the two of us)
Just the two of us, building castles in the sky
Just the two of us, you and I

Just the two of us (just me and you)
I'm always here for you (look over your shoulder, I'll be there)
Whatever you need just call on me (we gon' ride)
Whatever you need, I'll be there for you anytime
You and I (true that, true that)

Just the two of us (just the two of us)
Just the two of us (just the two of us)
You and I (for the rest of your life)
Just the two of us
