My Daughter's Father

I guess it's human nature Tuggin' at my sleeve That gets me thinking too much 'Bout what I'm supposed to be I keep aiming higher Like everybody else Forgetting what I need to be Is just to be myself It's not like everybody's waiting To see if I'll go far It's not like everybody's watching Though sometimes I think they are I don't have to change the world I don't have to walk on water All I have to be Is my daughter's father She's just like her mama When it comes to me Couldn't fool her if I tried to To her I'll always be Nothing more than daddy And when she says that word It a wonderful reminder Of why I'm on this earth It's not like everybody's waiting To see if I'll go far It's not like everybody's watching Though sometimes I think they are I don't have to change the world I don't have to walk on water All I have to be Is my daughter's father A man is often measured By what he does in life It made mine worth living When I realized It's not like everybody's waiting To see if I'll go far It's not like everybody's watching Though sometimes I think they are I don't have to change the world I don't have to walk on water All I have to be Is my daughter's father Yeah all I have to be Is my daughter's father --- My Daughter's Father - Gord Bamford
