To Make My Father Proud Lyrics

To make my father proud To make my mother smile I need not conquer worlds or fame Nor set the pace for style
If I can follow through On what they gave me as my tools I'll find a way to sail my course Avoiding ships of fools
If I don't come up, number one I'll stand not well apart As one for numbered numbers When knowing in my heart
I've done all to be done To always do my best [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/to-make-my-father-proud-lyrics-michael-jackson.html ] By listening to me, myself So he can do or else
For without compromise, shall flower the fruit of constant care
In my eleventh hour, I'll be a man when To face whatever falls my way Prepare that utter shame To just be called a part of God For which I have been named
A man and woman's youngest son While growing, still a child And that will make my father proud And make my mother smile
Proud
