(So, what are you gonna do?) Be the hero that your father was (So, what are you gonna do?) Be the man he made you to be And you are your father's son Dear Father, Dear Father Be the hero that your father was Be the man he made you to be

Dear Father, Dear Father
(So, what are you gonna do?) Be the hero that your father was (So, what are you gonna do?) Be the man he made you to be And you are your father's son Dear Father, Dear Father Be the hero that your father was Be the man he made you to be
“Where are you? Where are you? You coward, you coward” [x2]
