I build a fence around you in a father’s way   I try to feel what it is you’ll be going through   Co’s I’ve played many ways   When you grow, how much will it take to slow you down…   Half the way?      Do my best to feed you and I do what’s right   I try to find the words that I’ll 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   How far will you go?   How high will you climb?   And when all in life’s unfair   Are you strong enough to find another way, find another way   find another way?      A Father’s way      I build a fence around you in a father’s way   Just like the one who used to preach to me   Now I’ve become that way   But you know   How soft now the hand that used to strike   To the heart      One day when the fence is not so high   The road you took   How far will you go?   How high will you climb?   And when all in life’s unfair   Are you strong enough to find another way, find another way   find another way?      There’s no way   You will stay   There’s no way   I know you   There’s no way   You will stay   There’s no way   I know you.
