What's a Dad for, Dad?
Tell me why I'm here Dad
Whisper in my ear that I'm growing up to be a better man Dad
Everything is fine Dad
Proud that you are my Dad
Cause I know I'm growing up to be a better man

Father, I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older I want to be the same as you

What's a Dad for, Dad?
Taught me how to stand Dad
Took me by the hand and you showed me how to be a bigger man Dad
Listen when you talk Dad
Follow where you walk Dad
And you know that I'll always do the best I can
I can

Father I will always be (always be)
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me (over me)
Now I'm older I want to be the same as you
The same as you

Father I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older I want to be the same as you

Father I will always be (when I am a Dad, Dad, I'm gonna be a good Dad)
That same boy that stood by the sea (did the best you could, Dad, always understood, Dad)
And watched you tower over me (tell me I was right, Dad, opened up my eyes, Dad)
Now I'm older I want to be the same as you (proud to call you my, Dad, thank you for my life Dad)
