Tough Like Dad
I can't live without my dad.
Yeah, so does seven billion other lads.
Some are mad or sad dads
But my dad is rad.
He's ideal as steel
But like me, we cried on the inside.
I need to be strong like him
or I won't make it in this world.
I'll look up to him,
and he'll look up to me.
Because I'm all that he's got.
In Saudi Arabia he's all by himself.
For 4 years, I know he's coming back.
Mommy doesn't love him anymore,
a family no more.
Everything will be okay he says
but I know it isn't true.
That's why I'll be strong for Dad
And he'll be strong for me.
