Father's Sweat - Reggae 2026 (Glenboyfiji)

Verse 1

Sweat

Running down his dark forehead

He picks up the heavy shovel at five

While the town is sleeping

While the wind is cold

Dust

In his lungs

Iron and grit

Chorus

He does it for the little ones

He does it for the little ones

Trying to put bread on the table

Trying to keep the roof stable

Oh my father

He is a giant man

Working for the little ones

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Aiyer

Working man

Strong man

Verse 2

Blisters

Pop on his tired palms

He counts the copper coins in the jar

Sister needs a sweater

Brother needs a pen

Hunger

Is a ghost

Haunting the door

He fights it off every single day

With a back that never breaks

Steel

In his spirit

Pure gold

Chorus

He does it for the little ones

He does it for the little ones

Trying to put bread on the table

Trying to keep the roof stable

Oh my father

He is a giant man

Working for the little ones

Post-Chorus

Ooh

Aiyer

Working man

Strong man

Bridge

Tired feet walking home

Tired eyes watching them grow

Tired heart full of pride

He stays strong

He stays brave

He stays humble

Chorus

He does it for the little ones

He does it for the little ones

Trying to put bread on the table

Trying to keep the roof stable

Oh my father

He is a giant man

Working for the little ones

Outro

For my sister

For my brother

For us all

Thank you baba

Working man

Strong man

Love you baba
