He isn't much in the eyes of the world
He'll never make history
No, he isn't much in the eyes of the world, But he is the world to me

My dad, now here is a man
To me he is ev'rything strong, no he can't do wrong, my dad
My dad, now he understands when I bring him troubles to share
Oh, he's always there, my dad
When I was small I felt ten feet tall
When I walked by his side
And ev'ry one would say, "that's his son"
And my heart would burst with pride
My dad, oh, I love him so
And I only hope that some day my own son will say
"My dad, now here is a man"

My dad, now here is a man
To me he is ev'rything strong
No he can't do wrong, my dad
My dad, now he understands when I bring him troubles to share
Oh, he's always there, my dad
When I was small I felt ten feet tall
When I walked by his side
And ev'ry one would say, "that's his son"
And my heart would burst with pride
My dad, oh, I love him so
And I only hope that some day my own son will say
