Lyrics
Quiet Man
My Daddy is a quiet man, not many people know
He played guitar in a band many years ago
And he would sing to the crowd
And they would sway when he?d strum slow
But my daddy is a quiet man,
not many people know
My daddy is a quiet man.
Not a man of many words
But it sunk inside when he said that
I could go and change the world
And he?d say, hold your head up high,
When in the morning you rise and shine
Take care to choose which wall you climb
I?m proud to call you mine
In this life, don?t be a victim
Seize the day, it?s worth the climb
And as I grow old I?m sure I?ll be told
At least a thousand times
Hold your head up high,
When in the morning you rise and shine
Take care to choose which wall you climb
I?m proud to call you mine
So Daddy - Hold your head up high,
When in the morning you rise and shine
We are the wall you chose to climb
And I?m proud to call you mine
