Lyrics
He grew up in a city in Northern Spain
An idyllic life till the Civil War came
Under Franco's gaze there came darker days
And life was never quite the same
He met my mother on a London bus
They married at a registry without any fuss
His Air Force days passed, he found love at last
And soon there were three of us
Just do your thing, whatever life should bring
Accept what will be, will be
Help your fellow man, do the best you can
My father would say to me
With just $100 and no guarantee
We sailed from England and crossed the sea
Though we struggled along, Toronto soon was home
To my mother, sister, brother and me
He painted on a rooftop in Mexico
A year-long sabbatical, we loved it so
It went along with over 60 songs
And his philosophy we've come to know
Just do your thing, whatever life should bring
Inner peace will set you free
Never be afraid of the mistakes you've made
My father would say to me
He lectured on art and creativity
And lived his life with humor and dignity
He made his own plan, he was a renaissance man
His family would all agree
As he lay on his death bed, I whispered a prayer
And cut a small piece from his long silken hair
I knew he would be forever part of me
And the life we all had shared
Just do your thing, whatever life should bring
Accept what will be, will be
Help your fellow man, do the best you can
My father would say to me
