My Father's Son

Doing my time
Doing what it takes to survive
Punching in
I learned to be a man
Just from watching him
Learned to live like my father did
He gave me the drive to provide
Working hard till the day I die
Everything that you taught me
So many lessons learned
Without you I’m nothing
The sacrifice
You gave your all
Without you I’m nothing
You worked so hard
To make a life for me
Everyday
I think about how proud I am
To be my father’s son
I am my father’s son
So quick to correct me
To teach me
To lead me
So quick to show me
What it takes to be a man
Your calloused hands
They mold me
They guide me
I hope I am everything
You wanted me to be
Someday when I get the chance
You’re what I want to be
Then I’ll have a kid of my own
Who will want to follow me
I am my father’s son
I am my father’s son
I owe it all to you
I think about how proud I am
To be my father’s son
