Father my Fire Lyrics

My mentor, my advisor

My provider, my improvisor, that's what I see in you

But you are more than that, father

A chef when a mother is sick

A chair when my legs are broken

A bank of jokes in the middle of silence

Should I mention more?

Far more than gold you mean to me

You are my father, and your influence is far stronger than the sea

You're the Shakespeare that poets want to see

You're the role model that my uncles want to be.

Your past is an image of my nearby future

You never say a lot, but I commend you as a preacher

For what you do is said by a thousand teachers

In words, I cannot express, that my love for you has never been at rest

I find it hard to express, how each and every day I'm impressed

By the way in which you hide your stress

Instead, I'm depressed when I see you grow older

While all the more you re-assure

That your love for me grows stronger

I'm inspired by your fire

It burns within me like a lit-up tyre

Father, Daddy, Papa, Sire

You are my fire!
