Strong Papa

it takes a mountain of love
just to raise up a child
and thanks to God above
to make it all worthwhile

sometimes you fly by the seat
of the pants that you wear
sometimes you know the right way
if you can just get there

you have give a little
take a little
to keep the balance right

you can’t give it all
or take it all
and you can’t rule by might

it takes a mountain of love
just to raise up a child
and thanks to God above
to make it all worthwhile

you have to be a strong papa
have a strong mama too
you never know what the next
come-around will do

it takes a mountain of love
just to raise up a child
and thanks to God above
to make it all worthwhile

the river

the (big old) river is wide
and (it’s) muddy today
seems a big old flood came through
and washed lots of things away

the lake was about to flow over
the dam
how sad I am
I am
I am

the river is wide
and it’s muddy today
gonna be a long time
before everything’s okay
(okay
okay)

the lake was about to flow over
the dam
how sad I am
I am
I am

Gonna take a lot of cleaning
Up of stuff
Gonna take a lot of elbow grease
And sometimes that’s not enough

Gonna take a lot of hands
To reclaim this flooded land

the lake was about to flow over
the dam
how sad I am
I am
I am

the river is wide
and it’s muddy today
seems a big old flood came through
and washed lots of things away

I am sad,
so sad,
I am
I am
