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
