Where are you papa

Why did you go

Did they call you again

On a mission of theirs

Or just to be unkind

Where are you papa

You never stayed away without word

You know I am alone

I need to stay in touch

I feel your presents near me

I do not mean to be unkind

But you have been away so long

It is starting to get next to me

They say you are no more

How can that be

My papa

When it is you I seek

The guidance and the love

The one who raised me

Taught me right from wrong

Where are you papa

My heart really wants to know
