I been trying to build my daddy up
Since he first broke his back
When my mother broke his heart
Failed accomplishment broke his will
His mother’s secret broke his love
Five daughters enduring hardship
Broke his spirit
The wealth in his heart
His daughter admired
Priced it invaluable
More precious than jewels
The strength of his hands
Trust acquired
Ingenuity inspired
I been trying to build my daddy up
Since I first allowed you
To lay me on my back
After you broke my heart
As my failed accomplishments broke my will
Your secretes broke my love
One daughter with a broken spirit
The wealth of my heart
He admires
Priced it invaluable
More precious than jewels
The strength of my hands
Trust acquired
Ingenuity inspired
