Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's a dad for a 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 mine, dad
'Cause I know I'm growing up to be a better man
[Verse 2]
Father, I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older
I wanna be the same as you
[Verse 3]
What's a dad for a 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 will always do the best I can
I can
[Verse 4]
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 wanna be the same as you
The same as you
[Verse 5]
Father, I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older
I wanna be the same as you
[Verse 6]
Father, I will always be
When I'm a dad, dad
When I'm a dad, dad
I wanna be a good dad
I wanna be a good dad
Did the best you could, dad
Did the best you could, dad
That same boy that stood by the sea
Always understood, dad
Always understood, dad
And watched you tower over me
Taught me what was right, dad
Taught me what was right, dad
Opened up my eyes, dad
Opened up my eyes, dad
Proud to call you my dad
Proud to call you my dad
Thank you for my life, dad
Now I'm older
And I wanna be the same as you
