Papa Don Hold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You wake before the sun With trouble in your shoes Hands full of old work Still you never lose Mama see your back bent Kids see your quiet prayer You carry all the nights Like nobody was there [Pre-Chorus] Still you stand Still you smile Even when your heart is tired You keep that fire [Chorus] Papa don hold Papa don hold You carry us home When the road gets cold Papa don hold Papa don hold You gave us your strength Now we sing it loud [Verse 2] From market rain to school fees From broken roofs to bread You turned hard days to lessons With the words you said One pair of old brown shoes One shirt for many years Yet you fed our tomorrow Through your sweat and tears [Pre-Chorus] Still you stand Still you pray Even when the world says stop You find a way [Chorus] Papa don hold Papa don hold You carry us home When the road gets cold Papa don hold Papa don hold You gave us your strength Now we sing it loud [Bridge] If we had a gold medal We would pin it on your chest For every silent burden And every sleepless test You never asked for glory You just kept us alive So today we lift you Say your name with pride [Final Chorus] Papa don hold Papa don hold You carry us home When the road gets cold Papa don hold Papa don hold You gave us your strength Now we sing it loud Papa don hold Papa don hold We are your reward And we know it now
