[00:00.00](Now dad this is a very sensitive subject) <
[00:20.00][00:42.81]From the first time the doctor placed you in my arms<
[00:45.19]I knew I'd meet death before I'd let you meet harm <
[00:47.75]Although questions arose in my mind, would I be man enough?<
[00:50.82]Against wrong, choose right and be standin up <
[00:53.13]From the hospital that first night <
[00:55.19]Took a hour just to get the carseat in right <
[00:57.38]People drivin all fast, got me kinda upset <
[01:00.01]Got you home safe, placed you in your basonette<
[01:02.88]That night I don't think one wink I slept <
[01:05.25]As I slipped out my bed, to your crib I crept<
[01:07.82]Touched your head gently, felt my heart melt <
[01:10.57]Cause I know I loved you more than life itself <
[01:12.94]Then to my knees, and I begged the Lord please <
[01:15.75]Let me be a good daddy, all he needs <
[01:18.26]Love, knowledge, discipline too <
[01:20.75]I pledge my life to you <
[01:22.69]Chorus:
[01:23.13]Just the two of us, we can make it if we try <
[01:28.44]Just the two of us, (Just the two of us) <
