lyrics

Father

Verse 1
Born without a father, left all alone
Left without a dad to call her own
No one to invite to her games
Who will cheer her on, and pick her up when she falls

Chorus
Everyone needs a father, everyone needs a friend
Everyone needs someone like You

Verse 2
First came the abandonment
Then came the second chance
Later it’s all thrown away
Where did it leave the little girl
Who just wanted you to care

Verse 3
Hurt and broken hearted
Rejected all over again
She kneels down and prays
Saying

Chorus 2
Lord will You be my Father
Lord will You be my friend
Because Lord all I need is You
