VERSE
It seems like it was only yesterday
I was just a boy yearning to run
You always seemed so tall
Your uniform and all
It?s funny how some things they never change
But now that I?m a man and I?m fully grown
I stand and face the world all by myself
If what they said is true
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
I see you standing there
Every day I realize you?re more a part of me
I am but a face among the crowd
I hope I?ve made you proud
I hope I?m half the man you thought I?d be
VERSE
I?ve been working hard most every night
Singing all my songs under the spotlight
Sometimes it gets so rough
I feel I?ve had enough
But I recall the words you spoke to me
If you can keep your head and carry on
If you can share your strength with those who need
If you can watch it all cave in
And up and build again
Then you?ll be a man I do believe
Cause every time I look into the mirror
I see you standing there
Every day I realize you?re more a part of me
I am but a face among the crowd
I hope I?ve made you proud
I hope I?m half the man you thought I?d be
VERSE
I remember standing next to you
See how tall I grew
I remember falling down and scraping up my knee
I am but a face among the crowd
I hope I?ve made you proud
I hope I?m half the man you taught me to be
