Daddy o'

When the curtain falls and the claps fade
Will you be proud of me?
When I smile in my sleep two hours later
Will you be proud of me?

When I tell you how I stood up for my beliefs
Will you be proud of me?
When I grow a year older and realize my goals
Will you be proud of me?

Even if I fall, even if I cry and lose my way
Will you be proud of me?
When you drench yourself in my loquacious multi-enthnicity
Will you be proud of me?

When I pack on the pounds and kick up my feet
Will you be proud of me?
When I pass on the genes of your mighty pure blood
Will you be proud of me?

Daddy o' daddy, sweetest daddy of my perfect predetermined life
Will you be proud of me?
Daddy o' daddy who nursed me through the death of despise
Will you be proud of me?

When in the deepest of my doldrums I seek my nirvana
Will you be proud of me?
Even if I seek you and you can only wave goodbye
Will you be proud of me?

When the city burns in a purple Leo haze
Will you be proud of me?
When I'm reborn from my descendant blaze
Will you be proud of me?
