Color Him Father (Album Version) - Keb' Mo'
There's a man at my house
He's so big and strong
He goes to work each day  stays all day long
He comes home each night
Looking tired and beat
He sits down at the dinner
Table and has a bite to eat
Never a frown always a smile
When he says to me how's my child
I've been studying hard all day in school
Tryin' to understand the golden rule
Think I'll color this man father
I think I'll color him love
Color him father
I think I'll color the man love  yes I will
He says education is the
Thing if you wanna compete
Because without it son  life ain't very sweet
I love this man I don't know why
Except I'll need his strength till the day that I die
My mother loves him and I can tell
By the way she looks at him
When he holds my little sister Nell
I heard her say just the other day
That if it hadn't been for him
She wouldn't have found her way
