The spittin' image of my father
You were even more alike beneath the skin
I hid behind this music stand
When I was old enough to blame
Just tryin' to be like him
He fills the room with smoke and aftershave
He tells the same old jokes a thousand different ways
Now I look into the mirror and I see my image clearer
It took me by surprise, I can't believe my eyes
Oh oh oh oh, I am my father
Every stubborn act of will and every word I say
Oh oh oh oh, I am my father
Every song I sing, I'm hear him
Every step I take I'm near him
Every stumble, every stride
I know that he is walking by my side
The moments when my heart is open wide
Woah, I am my father
I'm only human in my weakness
With feet of clay and fragile dreams
I try each second to defeat
The force that tries to hold me back
Break me at the seams
I face each morning with an open heart
Somedays I lose the battle, somedays I win the war
Now when I close my eyes I see the kind of man that I could be
It's hard to be untrue when its blinding light shines through
Oh oh oh oh, I am my father
When I refuse to give my power to the other side
Oh oh oh oh, I am my father
When my model is forgiveness
When I take family over business
When I surrender to his voice
It gives my heart a reason to rejoice
I pray for everyday I am his choice
Woah, I am my father
Each time I choose the hardest road
Each time I bear the hardest slope
Everytime temptation calls my name
It's at my door but no one's home
Each time I thought the hand of greed
Try to feel the hand in me
Each time I call the devil's love
And scream "I've had enough"
Woah, woah, when I walk in his example
This house cannot be trampled
Woah, woah, I know I'll never crumble
When the holy meets the humble
My two fathers travel with me when I go
Oh oh oh oh, I am my father
Everytime I break the darkness into shining light
Oh oh oh oh, I am my father
When I turn the other cheek
When there is patience when I speak
And when I held the homeless child
The moments when we touch and reconcile
When I stop my world and see him loving smile
Woah, I am my father
I am my my my my father
You are my father
