I was young when I was told
Take a chance before you're old
Live a life you're proud to share
Don't look back and don't be scared Say your prayers and don't be late
When in doubt, just keep the faith
Learn to walk before you run
And soon you'll be a man, my son Now I am right where I belong
I hear your voice, and I am strong
And I will carry you with me
Til journey's end, I'll always be
My father's son
My father's son He left me lessons all around
Like keep your keep your feet on solid ground
Let your words and honor be
The truth and strength for all the world to see Now I am right where I belong
I hear your voice, and I am strong
And I will carry you with me
Til journey's end, I'll always be
My father's son
My father's son Find the one, don't let her go
In your heart you'll always know
Raise your boy to love his mom
Cuz soon he'll be a man, my son Now I am right where I belong
I hear your voice, and I am strong
And I will carry you with me
Til journey's end, I'll always be
My father's son
My father's son I'll always be my father's son
