When I look back over the years at the Things that bring tears to my eyes Poppa said we had to be wise to live long lives Now I recognise what my father said before he died Vocalised things I left unsaid Left my spirit unfed for too long I'm coming home to my family where I can be strong For you I plan to be Within me, my ancestry, giving me continuity This is what my daddy told me I wish he would hold me a little more than he did But he taught me my culture And how to live positive I never wanna shame the blood in my veins And bring pain to my sweet grandfather's face In his resting place I'll make haste to learn and not waste Everything my forefathers earned in tears For my culture Fall back again Crawl from the warm waters Don't ever forget You're on your feet again Your feet again Hello Dad remember me I'm the man you'd thought I'd never be I'm the boy who you reduced to tears Dad I've been lonely for 27 years Yeah that's right my name's Rob I'm the one who landed the popstar's job I'm the one who you told look don't touch I'm the kid who wouldn't amount to much I believe in the senses of the sound I have always been too loud Won't you help me drown it out I'm what I feel, what I'm feeling is surreal I'm a mass of spinning wheels Always digging in my heels Now I've got the faith to Fall back again Crawl from the warm waters Don't ever forget You're on your feet again Your feet again This is what my daddy told me I wish he would hold me a little more than he did But he taught me my culture And how to live positive I never wanna shame the blood in my veins And bring pain to my sweet grandfather's face In his resting place I'll make haste to learn and not waste Everything my forefathers earned in tears For my culture Fall back again Crawl from the warm waters Don't ever forget You're on your feet again Your feet again (For my culture) Fall back again Crawl from the warm waters Don't ever forget You're on your feet again Your feet again (For my culture)
