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 ev'rything 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 ev'ry one 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."
 
My dad, now here is a man.

Oh, he's always there, my dad.
When I was small I felt ten feet tall. 
When I walked by his side
And ev'ry one 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,
