The Chosen One

Hey yeah

I said, hey papa, wanna thank you so
For who you is and what you be and all that you do
And said, you, yeah, oh, you always taught me right from wrong
I ain't got much, but papa I wrote you this song, oh, yeah

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 ya, papa
I'm so glad I was the chosen one
I'm so glad I was the chosen one
I'm so glad, ooh, so glad I was the chosen one

And I said, you, yeah, you, oh, you always seemed to 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
Now 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 I was the chosen one
I'm so glad, ooh, so glad I was the chosen one

Take a listen, dad

Don't you know 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

Yeah, I'm glad
Yeah-yeah
I love you, papa
