INTRO: 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 OUTRO:
