I want to be
the man my father was
and if I'm half that
I'd be a better man because
I would have faith
I would never lack love
for the people that surround me
I could never give enough
and I'd see my freedom
in the light that it's meant to shine
I'd see that nothing that surrounds me
is gained without a price
I want to be
the man he saw in me
and if I'm half that
I know that he will see
