I remember my father who always stood up
He didn't think that the world would corrupt
You just needed to focus and do your best
Then success would come from the rest
He had answered Australia's Call in WW2
Winning at sea in the Royal Australian Navy too
Returning home to raise a family in the golden years
Sacrificing things for his family as a father without peer
We lost him thirty years ago when cancer took hold
And since then I miss him and have needed to be bold
But I like to think of his smile and how he made me feel
When I was with him he made me know I was the real deal.
