Father
Brian McKnight · Other Songs - Brian McKnight
But you're nowhere to be found
And I don't know which way to turn
If you're so far away
Too far to say
Today be strong
Tomorrow will be long
To the ones who'll stand for the
Father I need advice
Must my heart be cold as ice
Will the people follow me
When youre so far away
To far to say
Today be strong
Tomorrow will be long
To ones who'll stand for you
It's true that since your gone
Since your royal tomb's been sealed
Another spirits' been revelaed
One who challenges our every God
And there's a greater gift
That's raining fire from the skies
Even my baby boy has died
Tell me you hear me
Father I need you now
You say that every knee must bow
But you never taught me how
And you're so far away
To far to say
Today be strong
Tomorrow will be long
To the ones who'll
Stand up for their God
Standing up againsts all odds
Could the voice of destiny
Speak to Moses set my people free
Or will we rule and reign forever
Now the slightest chance
That's taken root inside my head
And I must do as He commands
And send His people away
Take them all away
Father and Son are gone away
Everyone's gone away
