I can still remember never really knowing
Would it be a kiss or the slamming of a door
Every time I think about the man my father
After all these years it's still a tug of war
I bear his cross and I carry his name
I feel him living in me
The good and the bad, the sinner the saint
Like father, like son
From generation to generation
You can pa** down the love
Or pa** on the hate
The boy's in the man
You what they say
Like father, like son
As I hold you near me I swear I'd never hurt you
I can feel the trust in your tiny hand
Will I shut you out, even though I love you
If I break my promise will you understand?
Try to forgive and accept my mistakes
I will be living in you
The good and the bad, the sinner the saint
Like father, like son
From generation to generation
You can pa** down the love
Or pa** on the hate
The boy's in the man
You what they say
Like father, like son
I can't live your life for you
Or spare you the pain
Take the best of who I am
And make your own way
Thank about your father
Thank about the man
You bear my cross and you carry my name
I will be living in you
The good and the bad, the sinner and the saint
Like father, like son
From generation to generation
You can pa** down the love
Or pa** on the hate
The boy's in the man
You what they say
Like father, like son
