Papa Said by Rachel Cintula and David Snyder published on 2023-05-28T17:17:33Z PAPA SAID By Rachel Cintula and David Snyder V1 I think Papa gave me the very best of him Raised me not to shake My honest hands with sin Taught me to climb mountains when they came up to me and not get lost in the darkness of the deep valleys And I can hear him say, son It don’t matter where you go And it don’t matter what you do I’ll be right here on this front porch, if you need me And I’ll be waitin’ For you CH And Papa said Don’ forget your compass Even when you’ve reached the top Or those directions home If you’re living too fast to stop From choices that left you broken and alone You can always come back to me Just come back home V2 Sad to say my life got A little out of hand Made some bad mistakes Wouldn't want to make again Did some things that caused us a whole world of hurt and dragged our family name through some heartache and some dirt Still I heard him say, Son, even if you fall I will always hold you close cause it happens to us all Yeah I can still hear him say, Son, even if you fall I will always hold you close cause it happens to us all CH And Papa said Don’ forget your compass Even when you’ve reached the top Or those directions home If you’re living too fast to stop From choices that left you broken and alone You can always come back to me Just come back home BR Now that I myself am a papa to a son I trying to raise him like my own Papa done CH And Papa says Don’ forget your compass Even if you’ve reached the top Or those directions home If you’re living too fast to stop From choices that left you broken and alone You can always come back to me, Just come back home Just come back home Yeah son You can always come back home Words and Music Copyight 2023 by Rachel Cintula and David Snyder/ASCAP David Snyder: Vocals, instrumentation, mixing and mastering Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Janice & Bud Merritt Terrific write ... wow! 2023-06-05T20:07:25Z Comment by Scott C Excellent David 2023-06-04T23:13:07Z Comment by BabuMusic Very inviting. 2023-06-01T15:09:50Z Comment by Alan & Di Great singer-songwriter composition! 2023-05-29T21:22:53Z Comment by Robert Dean Great song! 2023-05-29T18:13:08Z
