Whatever you are you´re goin´ to be
Whatever you are is all right with me
You´re gonna be what you want anyway
These are the words I heard my father say
When I was a young girl
And shy of men
He said when you´re ready
You´ll know just when
And when I was taken and thrown away
There wasn´t a reason to face the day
And so he said:

Whatever you are you´re goin´ to be
Whatever you are is all right with me
You´re gonna be what you want anyway
These are the words I heard my father say

My father´s song is clear and easy
And though he´s gone he lives in my heart
When I go wrong I swear he sees me
And he smiles for a star, and he says:

Wherever you are I´m here by your side
My life is a rope that won´t come untied
Oh, I´m gonna stand by you right or wrong
These are the words within my father´s song
Uh..Oh...Ah...Mmm...Uh!
These are the words within my father´s song
