| Set straight from the first time
|
| Taught from the start, right from wrong
|
| Led by example, shown to be strong
|
| On how to act and to carry on
|
| My mother raised me, to be a gentle man
|
| And I know I am my father’s son
|
| I’ll always be keeping my, head up high
|
| I’ll always be keeping on, on and on
|
| I’ll always be keeping my, head up high
|
| I’ll always be keeping on, on and on
|
| Hard work was the best of traits
|
| And to lend a hand, whenever you can
|
| If it was never broken, no need to fix
|
| If it needed mending, learn to stitch
|
| My mother raised me, a resourceful man
|
| And I know I am my father’s son
|
| I’ll always be keeping my, head up high
|
| I’ll always be keeping on, on and on
|
| I’ll always be keeping my, head up high
|
| I’ll always be keeping on
|
| Without a foundation and sights set so clear
|
| I would fail
|
| I know that I could not have made it to here
|
| I would fail
|
| All that you gave me came straight from the heart
|
| I would fail
|
| Without all the love that you gave from the start
|
| I would fail
|
| Set straight from the first time
|
| It’s a credit to you I never went astray
|
| Last time I checked, I was doing fine
|
| Last time I checked I hadn’t lost my mind
|
| My mother raised me, as best as she could
|
| I know I am my father’s son |
