lirik lagu gus johnson – that’s my job
[verse 1]
i woke up cryin’ late at night, when i was very young
i had dreamed my father, had passed away and gone
my world revolved around him, i couldn’t lie there anymore
so i made my way down the mirrored hall
and tapped upon his door
[chorus]
and i said, “daddy, i’m so afraid!
how would i go on, with you gone that way?
don’t wanna cry anymore, so may i stay with you?”
and he said “that’s my job, that’s what i do
everything i do is because of you, to keep you safe with me
that’s my job, you see.”
[verse 2]
later we barely got along, this teenage boy and he
most of the fights it seems were over different dreams
we each held for mе
he wanted knowledgе and learning, i wanted to fly out west
i said “i could make it out there, if i just had the fare
i got half, will you loan me the rest?”
[chorus 2]
and i said, “daddy, i’m so afraid
there’s no guarantee in the plans i’ve made
and if i should fail, who will pay my way back home?”
and he said “that’s my job, that’s what i do
everything i do is because of you, to keep you safe with me
that’s my job, you see.”
[bridge]
every person carves his spot, and fills the hole with life
and i pray someday i might, light as bright as he
[verse 3]
woke up early one bright fall day, read the tragic news
after all my travels, i settled down, within a mile or two
i make my livin’ with words and rhymes, and all this tragedy
should go into my head and out instead, as bits of poetry
[chorus 3]
but i say, “daddy i’m so afraid
how will i go on, with you gone this way
how can i come up, with a song to say, “i love you.”
“that’s my job, that’s what i do
everything i do is because of you, to keep you safe with me
that’s my job, you see.”
[outro]
“everything i do is because of you, to keep you safe with me.”
