THE STORY WILL UNFOLD
THE REAL STORY WILL UNFOLD:
THE WHOLE TRUTH WILL BECOME KNOWN AND TOLD:
SOMETIMES A STORYGETS DISTORTED;
WHEN UNFAIRLY BY OTHERS IT GETS REPORTED:
IN THE LONG RUN THE TRUE STORY WILL BE TOLD:
MAKING US PROUD AS WE GROW OLD:
WHEN YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A DAD;
SOMETIMES YOUR OWN FAMILY TREATS YOU SO LOW AND BAD;
WHEN THEY FORGET YOUR BIRTHDAY ON PURPOSE YOU CANT HELP BUT TO FEEL SO SAD:
AS A FATHER AS I GROW OLDER THE TRUE STORY WILL UNFOLD:
THAT MY WORD WAS TRUE AS GOLD:
I NEVER WANTED ANYTHING FOR MY OWN:
I DIDNT DESERVE THE DISRESPECT THAT I WAS SHOWN:
THE TRUE STORY WILL UNFOLD THAT I REALLY REALLY DID MY VERY BEST EVERY SINGLE DAY:
TRIED MY BEST TO SUPPORT MY FAMILY FROM MY EARNINGS AND PAY:
I KNOW IT NEVER WAS ENOUGH:
I KNOW GROING UP WE HAD IT KINDA ROUGH:
BUT I KNOW WE HAD IT BETTER THAN SOME:
I TRIED MY BEST TO FEED AND HOUSE MY FAMILY AND GIVE THEM FUN:
FOR MANY YEARS MY FAMILY CAR COULDNT GO VERY DEPENDABLY FAR:
ALWAYS DROVE A BROKEN DOWN USED CAR:
I NEVER OWNED MY OWN HOME:
ALWAYS HAD TO MOVE , STAYED ON THE ROAM:
MY KIDS ONE DAY THEY WILL ALL KNOW:
THAT THERE DAD DID HIS BEST EVEN HE WAS TREATED LOW:
I PUT MY FAMILY FIRST AND FOREMOST:
TO ALL MY SEVEN CHILDREN I WAS PROUD TO BRAG AND BOAST:
SOMETIMES I FEEL ALOT OF PAIN:
WHEN I THINK FROM MY OWN FAMILY I DIDNT GET RESPECT THE SAME:
I KNOW THE STORY WILL UNFOLD:
AS I GROW OLD:
HOW NOT A DAY PASSED ME BY:
THAT WHEN I HAD A FALLING OUT WITH ONE OF MY KIDS I DIDNT SIGH:
I ALWAYS WANT TO KEEP PEACE:
FOR FAMILY TO STAND SIDE BY SIDE AT LEAST:
IT HURTS ME A GREAT DEAL:
WHEN I FEEL MY FAMILY IS GOING FORWARD ON A BROKEN WHEEL:
SOME KIDS HAVE ARGUMENTS AND FALLING OUT WITH ONE ANOTHER:
ALL I WANT THEM TO TO IS STICK TOGETHER FOR THICK AND THIN AS SISTER AND BROTHER:
THE STORY OF MY LIFE WILL UNFOLD:
HOW I LOVED MY FAMILY EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE TRUE AND BOLD:
