My Father's Song

Whatever you are you're goin' to be

Whatever you are is all right with me

You're gonna be what you want anyway

These are the words I heard my father say

When I was a young girl

And shy of men

He said when you're ready

You'll know just when

And when I was taken and thrown away

There wasn't a reason to face the day

And so he said:

Whatever you are you're goin' to be

Whatever you are is all right with me

You're gonna be what you want anyway

These are the words I heard my father say

My father's song is clear and easy

And though he's gone he lives in my heart

When I go wrong I swear he sees me

And he smiles for a star, and he says:

Wherever you are I'm here by your side

My life is a rope that won't come untied

Oh, I'm gonna stand by you right or wrong

These are the words within my father's song

Uh..Oh...Ah...Mmm...Uh!

These are the words within my father's song
