Father used to fix things
When I broke them down
Fixed them with a hammer
He's a saviour with a crown
Mother used to guide me
So I could find my way
Took me by the hand
So her little angel would not be led astray
Father used to teach me
I listened when he said
Work a little every day
To serve wine and daily bread
Why don't you share your fears
Reveal the things that I can't see
Let them out of your troubled heart
Have the courage to make a fresh start
She tries so hard to leave it all behind
She gains strength day by day
She feels estranged
And out of place
Don't you see
She's in need
Now I am a master
I work with hammer and saw
But I can't fix my friend's heart
From behind a closed door
Father can you guide me
My friend is in need
Tormented by the memory
Of the violence inflicted on the street
On a dark winter night
She was on her way home
The smile upon her face
Was quickly erased
She came home and cried
And she cries every night
The gun in her face
Can never be erased
I try to listen
So she can feel at ease
Try to wash her fear away
So we can live in peace
Never put my best words down
But this time I came close
Sometimes I seem to disconnect
But the truth is that she is still my rose
Why don't you share your fears
Reveal the things that I can't see
Let them out of your troubled heart
Have the courage to make a fresh start
She tries so hard to leave it all behind
She gains strength day by day
When I broke them down
Fixed them with a hammer
He's a saviour with a crown
