My Dad

Paul Petersen

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 everything 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 everyone 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"
