The Chosen One: A Grateful Son's Tribute to Resilience and Love
Lyrics
Hey Papa, wanna thank you so
Expressing gratitude to the father.
For who you is and what you be and all that ya do
Appreciating the father for his character and actions.
You, yeh, you, you always taught me right from wrong
Acknowledging the father's guidance in distinguishing right from wrong.
I ain't got much, but Papa I wrote you this song
Despite limited possessions, the singer wrote a song for the father.
All the pain and suffering I watched you ignore
Reflecting on the father's endurance of pain and suffering.
From a poor boy, through the ruins of war
Describing the father's journey from poverty to the aftermath of war.
When my life is over and I done found my home
Contemplating the end of life and finding a home.
Just remember ... son you're not alone
Assuring the son that he is not alone in spirit.
A hard road is what it's gonna be
Acknowledging the challenges ahead on life's journey.
When I think of all you been and done
Reflecting on the father's experiences and achievements.
So glad I got to know ya Papa
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to know the father.
So glad I was the chosen one
Feeling privileged to be the chosen one, likely referring to being the son.
So glad I was the chosen one
Reiterating the sense of being the chosen one.
You, yeh, you, always seemed to find some time
Acknowledging the father's ability to find time for the son.
Beyond my dying day, you'll always be a friend of mine
Asserting that the father will remain a friend beyond death.
And you, ya left some big shoes to fill
Recognizing the father's significant influence and impact.
I'll do my best to make ya proud
Committing to making the father proud by filling his shoes.
I promise that I will
Promising to do the best to honor the father's legacy.
All the pain and suffering I watched you ignore
Reiterating the father's resilience in the face of suffering.
From a poor boy, through the ruins of war
Recalling the father's journey through poverty and war.
When my life is over and I done found my home
Contemplating the end of life and finding a home, repeating from line 7.
Just remember... son you're not alone
Reassuring the son about his companionship even after death.
A hard road is what it's gonna be
