Verse 1
They
call
me
a
childish
father,
Because
I
stood
my
ground.
They
wanted
me
to
pay
the
rent,
For
a
man
I
don't
know
around.
I
work
so
hard
for
my
family,
Trying
to
do
what's
right.
Not
every
burden
is
mine
to
carry,
I
pray
for
wisdom
every
night.
Chorus
Oh,
childish
father,
that's
what
they
say,
Just
because
I
chose
another
way.
Love
is
not
measured
by
the
money
I
give,
I'm
doing
my
best
so
my
own
can
live.
God,
You
know
my
heart
is
true,
Guide
my
steps
in
all
I
do.
Verse 2
I
wish
there
could
be
understanding,
Instead
of
anger
and
blame.
Respect
should
walk
with
kindness,
Not
every
request
is
the
same.
I'll
help
when
I
am
able,
With
peace
and
honesty.
But
I
won't
be
forced
by
pressure,
My
conscience
must
stay
free.
Bridge
Lord,
give
me
patience,
Help
my
family
see.
Let
love
overcome
division,
And
fill
our
hearts
with
peace.
Final
Chorus
Oh,
childish
father,
they
may
call
my
name,
But
I'll
keep
walking
just
the
same.
I'll
stand
for
truth
with
love
each
day,
Trusting
God
to
lead
my
way.
My
hope
is
in
the
Lord
above,
Who
teaches
wisdom,
grace
and
love.
