WHATEVER YOU DO (Parker’s
Song) ~ Words and Music by
Ran Birkins
If I was asked to name
the greatest gift my father gave,
it wouldn’t be something material.
Not some fancy toy he’d bought
rather daily lessons taught,
my Daddy gave me a great role model.
Whatever you do, son,
give it your all;
intensely with passion,
or not at all.
One hundred percent, son,
and nothing less.
Whatever you do son,
give it only your best.
Don’t let the value of your word
depend on who you gave it to;
all that matters is that it was given by you.
(repeat chorus)
Read and love, compete and love,
speak out against each wrong you see.
Write and love, smile and love,
and above all else, integrity.
All these things, son, you must do;
not for me, but for you.
My Daddy, to this day, is my role model.
(repeat chorus)
