To Make My Father Proud

Lyrics

[Verse 1] To make my father proud To make my mother smile I need not conquer worlds or fame Nor set the pace for style If I can follow through On what they gave me as my tools I'll find a way to sail my course Avoiding ships of fools [Verse 2] If I don't come up, number one I'll stand out well apart As one from numbered numbers For knowing in my heart I've done all to be done To always do my best By listening to me, myself So he can do the rest [Bridge] For without compromise, shall flower the fruit of constant care In my eleventh hour I'll be a man aware [Verse 3] To face whatever falls my way Prepared and unashamed To just be called a part of god Of which I have been named A man and woman's elder son While growing still a child And that will make my father proud And make my mother smile
