Father and Friend
Oh papa, sit down and hear my song
Oh, and if you feel like it then please sing along
No, nothing that I wanna say I haven't said before
But to use your words, you can never be too sure
See, even though I don't always show
I'm glad that you're around
I said I'm glad that you're around
Oh son, it's so strange to hear and see
That someone so different is so like me
You may have gone right, while I would have gone left
But son, that's all right, I will always have your back
See even though I don't always show
I'm proud that you're my son
Old days, and all of the new, wanting to be like you
Every time I look at you (oh, yeah)
I see myself (yeah)
I'm so proud of you
For you help make me what I am
Oh, a better man
I'm just so proud of you
Oh dad, your views in life, tell me how they came to be
Well, see, I didn't know my father like the way that you know me
Son, life is just too short for us to never be in touch
Oh, that's why I want to tell you that I love you very much
Oh, even though I don't always show, you know
And I want you to know that
Every time I look at you (oh, yeah)
I see myself (come on, yeah)
And I'm so proud of you
For you help make me what I am (tell me now)
A better man
I'm just so proud of you
I'm here and I'll be if I can
A father and a friend, oh
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) every time I look at you
Every time I look at you (what you see?)
I see myself (oh, yeah)
And I'm so proud of you
For you help make me what I am (whoo)
A son and a friend
I'm just so proud of you
Oh, listen, you know that one day too
I'll be walking in your shoes
And I know that you'll do fine, 'cause you're a son of mine
Oh, hey papa, tell me what you've learned
So that I don't get my fingers burned
Son, you'll see that as you go you'll make mistakes of your own
But that's okay man, see you live and you learn
You live and you learn
Oh, and if you feel like it then please sing along
No, nothing that I wanna say I haven't said before
But to use your words, you can never be too sure
See, even though I don't always show
I'm glad that you're around
I said I'm glad that you're around
Oh son, it's so strange to hear and see
That someone so different is so like me
You may have gone right, while I would have gone left
But son, that's all right, I will always have your back
See even though I don't always show
I'm proud that you're my son
Old days, and all of the new, wanting to be like you
Every time I look at you (oh, yeah)
I see myself (yeah)
I'm so proud of you
For you help make me what I am
Oh, a better man
I'm just so proud of you
Oh dad, your views in life, tell me how they came to be
Well, see, I didn't know my father like the way that you know me

But that's okay man, see you live and you learn
You live and you learn
