Papa Said by Ted Pearce and the Nomadic Farmers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Little darling, where have you been?
I've seen you struggling again and again
The world is spinning, no one is winning the game
It's time that you decide which life you're living
[Pre-Chorus]
Better hurry now, the time has arrived
Your wish to stay on the fence has just been denied
[Chorus]
Papa said, "Come along, come along with me
To a place I know is gonna set you free, yeah"
Papa said, "Come along, come and go with me
To a place I know is gonna set you
Gonna set you free, yeah yeah
Gonna set you free, yeah"
[Verse 2]
Kneeling at your altar, Bible in your hand
Do you really mеan it when you're calling for His help?
Littlе darling, please remember well
That it's your Daddy that saves the soul as well
[Pre-Chorus]
There's still time to turn the hold away
From those things of earth that will lead you astray
[Chorus]
Papa said, "Come along, come along with me
To a place I know is gonna set you free, yeah"
Papa said, "Come along, come and go with me
To a place I know is gonna set you
Gonna set you free, yeah yeah
Gonna set you free, yeah"
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Rise from hiding, the storm's gone away
Let His love fly in and carry you today
Jesus wants you, His arms are open wide
Little darling, His love you are inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you live to tell your faith has brought you through
Go and tell the world your Daddy loves 'em too
[Chorus]
Papa said, "Come along, come along with me
To a place I know is gonna set you free, yeah"
Papa said, "Come along, come and go with me
To a place I know is gonna set you
Gonna set you free, yeah yeah
Gonna set you free, yeah"
[Outro]
He wants to set you free, yeah yeah
He wants to set you free, yeah
Little darling, where have you been?
I've seen you struggling again and again
The world is spinning, no one is winning the game
It's time that you decide which life you're living
[Pre-Chorus]
Better hurry now, the time has arrived
Your wish to stay on the fence has just been denied
[Chorus]
Papa said, "Come along, come along with me
To a place I know is gonna set you free, yeah"
Papa said, "Come along, come and go with me
To a place I know is gonna set you
Gonna set you free, yeah yeah
Gonna set you free, yeah"

From those things of earth that will lead you astray
