My inspiration for writing this song was watching the movie actor Tyler Perry, on Oprah, talk about his father abusing him terribly during his childhood; it's been sometime ago when I wrote this.
"Fatherless Child"
Always I feel like a fatherless child
Always I feel like a fatherless child
Always I feel like a fatherless child
where is my safe home
where is my loving home
Why did my dad not show me any love
Why did my dad now show me any love
my dad he did not show me any love
Oh Lord, why did he hate me
Oh why did my dad hate me
all he ever did was scare me
all he ever did was beat me
all he ever did was hurt me
I had no where to go
I had no where to go
Oh Lord you see - I didn't have a father
Oh Lord you see - I didn't have a father
Oh Lord you see - I didn't have a father
I didn't have a real father
I didn't have a loving father
He's still an idiot to this very day
He's still an idiot to this very day
He's still an idiot to this very day
Because he was and is stupid
Because he was and is bad
end of song
abuse, father, love, loving, mother, motherless child, oh Lord, parenting, poetry in song, sometimes I feel, songs, child abuse, spirituals, Tyler Perry on Oprah
