Wish I Was a Fighter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The day I built to shed my father wept
Cause I was growing up to be a man
My brothers and sisters they all fled
Am I supposed to just stay where I am?
Oh, I wish I was a fighter
But I ain't been brought up that away
Should have lied to her
But I ain't been brought up that away
Wish I was a fighter
But I ain't been brought up that away
Should have lied to her
But I ain't been brought up that away
Looking through old photographs it came across a time
When sending love with stamps will all we have
And I'm telling you the truth it's the only hand I'll hold
I know that one of this days is for letting go
Oh, I wish I was a fighter
But I ain't been brought up that away
Should have lied to her
But I ain't been brought up that away
Wish I was a fighter
But I ain't been brought up that away
Should have lied to her
But I ain't been brought up that away
Who had the last word
Never did it work
In any confrontacion I've had
Choose to be a bigger
Never that you were in any conversations on hand
Oh, wish I was a fighter
But ain't been brought up that away
Should have lied
But ain't been brought up that away
Wish I was a fighter
But ain't been brought up that away
Should have lied to her
But ain't been brought up that away
