I guess it's human nature tuggin' at my sleeve

That gets me thinkin' too much 'bout

What I'm 'sposed to be

I keep aiming higher like everybody else

Forgetting what I need to be is just to be myself

It's not like everybody's waiting to see if I'll go far

It's not like everybody's watching

Though sometimes I think they are

I don't have to change the world

I don't have to walk on water

All I have to be is my daughter's father

She's just like her mama when it comes to me

Couldn't fool her if I tried to

To her I'll always be nothing more than daddy

And when she says that word

It a wonderful reminder of why I'm on this earth

It's not like everybody's waiting to see if I'll go far

It's not like everybody's watching

Though sometimes I think they are

I don't have to change the world

I don't have to walk on water

All I have to be is my daughter's father

A man is often measured by what he does in life

It made mine worth living when I realized

It's not like everybody's waiting to see if I'll go far

It's not like everybody's watching

Though sometimes I think they are

I don't have to change the world

I don't have to walk on water

All I have to be is my daughter's father

Yeah all I have to be is my daughter's father
