Whatever you are you re going to be
Whatever you are is all right with me
You re going to 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 he said:
Whatever you are you re going to be
Whatever you are is all right with me
You re going to be what you want anyway
These are the words i heard my father say

My father soul is clear and easy
And though he s gonehe lives in my heart
When i go wrong i swear he sees me
And he smiles for a start and he says:

Whatever you are i m here by your side
My life is a rope that won t come untied
Oh i m going to stand by you right or wrong
These are the words within my father s song
These are the words within my father s song
