Daddy Is a Mother

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some fathers leave their duty undone Some are around, but their care is gone But you, Papa, stood by our side Both father and mother, our shelter and guide Which father could ever be just like you? Daddy, no father compares to you [Chorus] My father, my mother You’re my first big brother Daddy is a sister Oh yes, Daddy is a mother Asonaba and cousins love you Asonaba and cousins love you [Verse 2] We didn’t have plenty money to spare But Daddy made sure there was always food there I still wonder how you made it come through While caring for Mummy, you healed us too You kept this whole family steady and strong Papa, your love has carried us along [Chorus] My father, my mother You’re my first big brother Daddy is a sister Oh yes, Daddy is a mother Asonaba and cousins love you Asonaba and cousins love you [Bridge] When days were heavy, you gave us your hand You made a home from what you had planned Papa, we’re grateful; our hearts sing it true Asonaba and cousins are dancing for you [Final Chorus] My father, my mother You’re my first big brother Daddy is a sister Oh yes, Daddy is a mother Asonaba and cousins love you Asonaba and cousins love you Papa, we love you
