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!
