Michael Jackson
To Make My Father Proud (Original Mix)
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
By listening to me myself
So he can do the rest

[Pre-Chorus]
(Or without compromise, shall follow the feel of constant care)
In my eleventh hour
I'll be a man aware
[Chorus]
To face whatever falls my way
Prepared then unashamed (Ahh, ahh ahh)
To just be called a part of God (Ahh, ahh ahh)
For which I have been named (Ahh ahh ahh ahh)
A man and woman's youngest son (Ahh ahh)
While growing still a child
(And that will make my day) And that will make my father proud
(And that will make) And make my mother smile

(Ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

[Outro]
One, two
One, two, three, go
