I was there to give your name
I was only a kid myself!
And I was lost when you went away
That moment of living hell!
Phone calls to hear your voice
This isn't what you deserve!
But a father's love never dissipates
I swore that you'd come back to me!
Dark night
I'm weary
But I'll stay awake!
No sleep from my eyes!
Didn't I, didn't I say
You'll get no sleep from me!
Didn't I, didn't I tell you
I am a patient man
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait!
Didn't I, didn't I say
You'll get no sleep from me!
Ten years I have stayed
It's felt like a lifetime!
You are shining destiny
You're part of a dynasty!
I've fought for you and I've prayed
This intercession has cost blood!
I believe in you, you've found your way
Just one way
And now you're on a journey with me!
Dark night
I'm weary
I swore I'd stay awake
Didn't I, didn't I say
You'll get no sleep from me!
Didn't I, didn't I tell you
I am a patient man
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait!
Didn't I, didn't I say
You'll get no sleep from me!
When you pass through the waters I will be with you
When you walk on the waves you won't be swept away
When you pass through the waters I will be with you
When you look in my eyes you'll see that I'm awake
When you pass through the waters I will be with you
A father is always a watchman!
When you walk on the waves you won't be swept away
My child, protected, I'm looking out!
When you pass through the waters I will be with you
A father, a daughter, a watchman!
When you look in my eyes you'll see
That I'm awake (all my watchmen, stay up!)
