Father, who am I supposed to be?  You seem disappointed  When you see the real me    And when we talk  I try to guess  How you measure success  It's hard enough  To be myself  Without you wishing I was someone else    And I'll be a sailor  And you'll be the rocky sea  I'll sail through the storm  You'll never find me  You don't even know me    Father, I just want to know  Can you see me trying  Not to let the pain show    And if you can, then recognize  There's someone behind my eyes  Who looks to you for some support  Before life proves that it's much too short    And I'll be a sailor  And you'll be the rocky sea  I'll sail through the storm  You'll never find me  You don't even know me    It's hard enough to be myself    Father    And when we talk  I try to guess  How you measure success  It's hard enough to be myself  Without you wishing I was someone else    And I'll be a sailor  And you'll be the rocky sea  I'll sail through the storm  You'll never find me  You don't even know me  You don't even know me
