Tell me how the circle ends
There`s no beginning
Everything that came before
Will come round again
And I look in the mirror
My father`s eyes look back at me
He gave me a road to choose
He gave me freedom
And I pray I`m strong enough
To walk in his shoes
And I, I hope that I become
Half the man he wants me to be
Cause I feel you guiding me
Showing me the way when I`m misdirected
I know your not here
But I feel connected
Cause everything that I am
Comes from a better man
And all that I`ve said I`ve done
Can`t rewrite my history
Right there for all to see
I`m just my father`s son
Taught me to walk, now I run
Now I run
Sometimes when I lose myself
In my weakness
I can feel the touch of his unmistakable hands
And their pushing me forward
Back into the circle again
And I hope my son sees in me
The kind of man that he was to me
And everything that I am
Comes from a better man
And all that I`ve said I`ve done
Can`t rewrite my history
Right there for all to see
I`m just my father`s son
Taught me to walk, now I run
I run
He`s the best and the worst of me
Sometimes I don`t know where my common sense is
I may be a sinner
But my best defense is
Everything that I am
Comes from a better man
And all that I`ve said I`ve done
Can`t rewrite my history
Right here for all to see
I`m just my father`s son
Yeah oh
I`m just my father`s son
Taught me to walk
Now I run
