(Aweh)
(Eish, listen to me)
My little Ruth, dry those eyes
Everything is going to be alright
I see the tears falling down your face
Like rain hitting the dusty ground
You’re hurting because of this change in place
The silence in the house is a heavy sound
I know you’re crying 'cause Mom and I are through
But please understand, it wasn't my plan
Your mother's choices brought us to the view
I'm doing the best that I can, understand?
Oh Ruth, my daughter, don't you cry no more
Daddy is here, standing right at your door
Even if the house is divided in two
My heart is still beating only for you
Forgive me, my daughter, for the pain you feel
My love for you is the only thing that's real
Sharp sharp, look at me now, look in my eyes
I’m never gonna let you fall, never gonna let you slip
I know it hurts, I know the spirit sighs
But I promise you, I’ll never let the anchor grip
I’ll provide for you, keep the lights on bright
You will never suffer, that’s a vow I make
Through the coldest storm and the longest night
I’m the foundation for your heart to take
Oh Ruth, my daughter, don't you cry no more
Daddy is here, standing right at your door
Even if the house is divided in two
My heart is still beating only for you
Forgive me, my daughter, for the pain you feel
My love for you is the only thing that's real
(Yebo)
Forgive me, forgive me
It’s a heavy road we walk today
Forgive me, forgive me
But the love of a father never fades away
Asambe, we keep moving forward
Your daddy is alive, I’m standing tall
Whatever you need, you just have to call
No more tears, my beautiful girl
You’re the most precious thing in my world
School, home, life—I’ve got it all planned
Just take my hand, take my hand
Oh Ruth, my daughter, don't you cry no more
Daddy is here, standing right at your door
Even if the house is divided in two
My heart is still beating only for you
Forgive me, my daughter, for the pain you feel
My love for you is the only thing that's real
Sho, just for you Ruth
Daddy loves you, yeah
Never gonna suffer, never alone
(Aweh)
Everything is gonna be alright.
