|
My little boy came home from school
|
Said Daddy some bully picked a fight today
|
He pused me down on the playground
|
Kicked me in the stomach, and spit in my face
|
I took one look at his little black eye
|
And I felt my temper like a tempest rise
|
I asked him did he stand his ground
|
Did he get back up and knock him down
|
Did he make his daddy proud
|
Did he make him pay
|
And he said
|
|
Chorus:
|
Daddy I tried to be a man today
|
And they all laughted and called me chicken
|
When I turned and walked away
|
I wanted so bad to hit him
|
But in my mind I heard you say
|
What would love do
|
(What would love do)
|
What would love say
|
|
He said Daddy are you disappointed
|
And it took what little breath I had left
|
To tell him he was just the son I wanted
|
And it takes a big man to forgive and forget
|
I looked into my little angel's face
|
And I felt the power of amazing grace
|
Lord, help me practice what I preach
|
Teach me to turn the other cheek
|
Though my spirit's willing, still my flesh is weak
|
But I heard You when he said
|
|
Chorus:
|
Daddy I tried to be a man today
|
And they all laughed and called me chicken
|
When I tured and walked away
|
I wanted so bad to him him
|
But in my mind I heard you say
|
What would love do
|
(What would love do)
|
What would love say
|
|
What would love do
|
What would love say
|
