Tell me how the circle ends Theres no beginning Everything that came before Will come round again And I look in the mirror My fathers eyes look back at me He gave me a road to choose He gave me freedom And I pray Im strong enough To walk in his shoes And I hope that I become Half the man he'd want me to be 'Cause I feel you guiding me Showin me the way when Im misdirected I know your not here but I feel connected [Chorus] 'Cause everything that I am Comes from a better man And all that Ive said and done Can't rewrite my history Right there for all to see I'm just my fathers 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 theyre 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 [Chorus] And everything that I am comes from a better man And all that Ive said and Ive done Cant rewrite my history Right there for all to see I'm just my fathers son Taught me to walk, now I run I run
