My Father's Son Lyrics

I will remember, and I will be different. I won't make the same mistakes.
I'll take a new path, another direction. I won't, no I won't be my father's son.
My words - won't be so cruel
My rules - will make more sense
My life - will feel secure
My sons - ill honor me

My father's son, that's what I am. Or am I not?
Please tell me, god! If that's what I am,
Will his mistakes be mine to make if I'm indeed my father's son?
My father's son!

Yes, I remembered. Yes, I am different.
I don't make the same mistakes.
I took a new path, another direction trying not to be my father's son.
My words - are sometimes harsh
My rules - must be obeyed
My life - is just too full
My sons - are all renegades.

Oh, my father's son, that's what I am. Or am I not?
Please tell me, god! If that's what I am,
Will his mistakes be mine to make if I'm indeed my father's son?
My father's son!

And so I remembered. I'm not so different. And I made my own mistakes.
I forged a new path, another direction but I'll always be my father's son.
Father's son!
(My words, my woman, my life, my sons)

Could I be my father's son, that's what I am. Or am I not?
Please tell me, god! If that's what I am,
Will his mistakes be mine to make if I'm indeed my father's son?
My father's son!
