It seems like it was only yesterday

But now that I?m a man and I?m fully grown

I stand and face the world all by myself
F C
If what they said is true
G Am
That I?m a lot like you

You know we?re sharing more than just a name

Cause every time I look into the mirror
F C
I see you standing there
G Am C F
Every day I realize you?re more a part of me

I am but a face among the crowd
G Am
I hope I?ve made you proud
F C F
I hope I?m half the man you thought I?d be

I?ve been working hard most every night

Singing all my songs under the spotlight

Dm C9 F G
But I recall the words you spoke to me
C F C
If you can keep your head and carry on
C F Em
If you can share your strength with those who need
F C
If you can watch it all cave in

And up and build again

I hope I?m half the man you taught me to be
