^GI woke up crying ^Emlate at nigh^Ct w^Dhen I wa^Gs very young ^CI had dreamed my ^Gfathe^Amr had passed away and ^Dgone ^GMy world revolved ^Emaround him, I couldn't ^Clie there ^Danymo^Gre ^CSo I made my way down the ^Gmirrored hall and ^Amtapped ^Dupon his ^Gdoor And I said, "D^Caddy, I'm ^Gso afraid, how will ^AmI go on with you ^Ggone that way? Don't wanna ^Ccry anymore ^Gso may I stay with ^Amyou?" ^D

And he said, "^CThat's ^Dmy ^Gjob,^C that's ^Dwhat I ^Gdo. ^CEverything I ^Ddo is ^Gbecause ^Dof y^Cou, to keep you s^Dafe with m^Eme. T^Chat's my j^Dob you s^Gee."

I got h^Amalf, will you l^Doan me the re^Gst." And I said, "Da^Cddy, I'm ^Gso afraid. There's ^Amno guarantee in the ^Gplans I've made. And if ^CI should fail, who will ^Gpay my way back h^Amome?"

And he said, "T^Chat's ^Dmy j^Gob, ^Cthat's w^Dhat I do^G. E^Cverything I^D do is ^Gbecause ^Dof y^Cou, to keep you s^Dafe with m^Eme. T^Chat's my j^Dob you s^Gee."
