It is not me

I will not be pushed off this tightrope
When I reach the other side I will have no regrets
I will always do what is right... no matter
So for now I will cope
I guess I just need you in so many ways
To help me realize
Reminding me, though my shoulders are broad
And I wear the word Father on my chest
This world will spin no matter
When that person trips I need not always run
When they are disappointed I need not apologize
Responsible and forward thinking
Always doing my best to be
I will thank you for reminding me
Though I may be in the vicinity
It is not me
